Just finished The Spoonbenders, a fun fiction about a family with mixed psychic powers in Chicago in the 90’s. I listened to it on audible and the narrator was fantastic, but I think reading it would...
I recently re-watched all 5 seasons of The Wire. There is a newspaper manager in the 5th season that uses “Dickensian” a lot. Reminded me of you every time he said it.
I'm probably the last person to read The Goldfinch. I thought it was a good story, very well written, and the characters were interesting. But holy moly, it was about 2.5 time too long. I don't mind...

My last two listens/reads were Boys in the Boat, and Girl on the Train. Total coincidence that the titles are gender/transportation based. Both were entertaining.
I have consumed a lot of books...
I used to be a big reader, but then life got busy and I haven't done much the past 7 years or so other than on vacation. I thought about listening to audio books, but could never get into it. I more...
