            I read Spin Move. Not the best writing, but a fun story. I learned a lot about international white collar crime.

            I read The Girl on the Train. Good book if you're into easy reads and page turners (and I am). I like that all the characters and narrators in the book are bad.

            Now I'm reading All the Light We Cannot See. About a blind girl in France and a German orphan-boy/radio engineer turned unwilling Nazi soldier during World War II. So far, so good. I get the feeling there will not be a happy ending. It hasn't been a happy beginning
            I just started Girl on the Train this weekend. It's been very good, but I keep falling asleep. Only been reading it at bedtime, and I've been bushed lately. Really enjoyed it so far.

              If you like page turners, read The Wheelman by Duane Swierczynski

                  I still won't do jogging. 50 miles a week walking, no prob, but running- no frakking way. I like my joints.

                    Just started C.V. Wedgewood's The Thirty Years War. So far, so good.

                      Read Stephen King's "Revival" very good.

                      then finished Jay Bilas "Toughness" and went back into fiction... had to decide on Game of Thrones book 2, or Jack Reacher Book 2.
                      -Went with Reacher because of length.

                      I think my next book will be Chasing the Scream... about the failed War on Drugs... it looks really good.

                        Just finished the latest paperback In Death book by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts).

                        Also working on the last Wheel of Time book by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson. Doing that via audiobook.

                          Oh yea, I forgot I read that. The killer is ...

                          I recently finished All the Stars We Cannot See. Longest book with the shortest chapters. It's a slow starter but most of the 2nd half of the book is intense. Excellent prose. Even better than a Canepa column.

                          It's about a German boy and a blind French girl in the war. Nicest Nazi ever.
