This is Banned Books Week. The theme is “Censorship Is So 1984. Read for Your Rights.” If you can, buy a banned book and tuck it away.


I am reading Still Life With Crows by Douglas Preston; Lincoln Child. "A small Kansas town has turned into a killing ground. Is it a serial killer, or a curse upon the land?" Creepy good Halloween fare.

Listening to Blackout by David Rosenfelt, "a propulsive and compelling thriller." A New Jersey state police officer is shot and in critical condition. When he awakens from his coma he has retrograde amnesia and cannot remember the past 10 years. But he really needs to remember who shot him and why. The fate of the city could depend on that.
