Finished Cemetery Dance which was great! Read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which was a nice little story and today I start Scarecrow at the Feast. Also listening to The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo on audio-very interesting book.

Just finishing up "Before the Storm" about Goldwater's 1964 campaign. I'm always amazed at how history seems to repeat itself. So many themes from that campaign sound like issues we still hear today.

I'm about ready to start "Churchill's Triumph" by Michael Dobbs. I've never read any of his historical fiction. But, I've always been interested in the Yalta Conference at the end of WWII. That is the centerpiece of this book from Churchill's perspective. Look like a fun read.

The Lazarus Project by Aleksandar Hemon. It's not a beach book exactly, but I'm loving it for lines like, "Belief and delusion are incestuous siblings."

I just finished The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-excellent read. The second book in the trilogy isn't released here until July-you are lucky in Europe

Finished reading Skeletons at the Feast-very thought provoking tale about the final days of Germany in the wake of the Russian army. Started Olive Kitteridge-the latest Pulitzer prize winner.

Reading Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson. Now I need to wait until he publishes the next two.

Listening to The Eye of the World at the gym.

Joyce said something about how the reader should spend at least as much time reading this book as he did in writing it. That would be 17 years, so it looks like you've satisfied his requirement.
