I am reading a lot more three weeks into the shutdown. Rereading Camus's The Plague, much more meaningful this go around. Reading lighter stuff too, like a book called Wild Cards, edited by George RR Martin, an alien bomb goes off above NYC after WWII, some people are turned into superheroes, others into monsters, and others are unaffected. The authors do a great job writing for the time period.

My genre is suspense/mystery,just finished The Burglar,by Thomas Perry, female who finances
her life by 'visiting" hi end homes.....street wise teenager who grew up to be an expert in her
field....until she witnessed a murder in progress,while "visiting"....black ops,museum curators,
black market art schemes that entangle her into a spiders web. His other female character is
Jane Whitefield series....a woman who is adroit in making people disappear (think witness protection program, only not for snitches.)

the "bush" in Alaska

Don't really care for Brad Thor, for some reason. Haven't been reading but have been watching the old Ellery Queen and Nero Wolfe series. Comfort mysteries. Everything is resolved in 45 minutes.

Currently reading "Time and Tide" by Thomas Fleming. So far a good but rather savage read on the naval war in the Pacific after Peal Harbor.

I am reading a historical novel Cryptimocon about the intelligence and code battles in the Pacific during WWII. Fascinating. How the US chose to let Americans die so that the Japanese high command wouldn't figure out their codes were broken. Those decisions would have to scar your soul.
