What are you reading this week of January 31, 2016? [View all]

Where the f*** did January go? That's a little inside joke for those who have the Blackstar album.

Still reading The Drums of Autumn, only 500 pages left to go. I was thinking, when I finish this one I will have read over 4,000 pages of Outlander. That's a lotta ink. I have also just started watching season 1 of the TV series on DVD. I love this show so much! It is so beautiful: the music, the scenery, the horses. The characters are marvelous. The 'bad guy' is so amazingly bad. And Jamie, oh Jamie! I would go back in time for him. Mmmmm.

I'm also still reading The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. Published in 1940, this portrayal of some misfits in a Georgia mill town during the 1930s is quite fascinating. You really get a sense of the time and place.

What is capturing your fancy this week?
