One or my favorite books of all time is Lolita. Jeramy Irons reads it in the Audible version. I highly suggest it!

Nabokov was one of our great writers, especially for a man who's native language was Russian. My favorites of his are the funny/sad ones like Lolita, Pale Fire, and Pnin.

Enjoy.

I've been reading the set of Ed McBain 87th precinct stories/ novels, in chronological order -- about 60 books in 50 years of writing these gems. They're all included in the Kindle Unlimited subscription for $10/ month. What a bargain!

My reading.choices are usually a bit obscure.  Just finished Thom Andrews’ “Killing for Coal” for the third time. And I have to have the pages and words to enjoy a book. I can’t even enjoy a tablet.  Must be grumpy old fart.

I just started Graham Hancock's series called War God. I have been fascinated with the Aztec/ Spanish story for years.

I have about a dozen authors I follow at Stories Online

Some are hardcore porn, some have little or no sex.  Westerns, SciFi, Fantasy, Romance - It’s all there!

I've gone back to reading a couple of authors I have not read for years.....Sue Grafton and Sara Paretsky.  I forgot how much I enjoyed both of them.

Grafton is so easy to read, and tells great stories...I stayed up late, reading her, many nights...

I watched The Kitchen on HBO last night.

It has Melissa McCarthy and Tiffany Haddish in it.  I don’t care for either lady.

But you know what, I’ll watch The Kitchen again.  It was good and I liked both Melissa and Tiffany in it.

4 stars out of 5.

Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell - about half way through and it is gripping to learn how naive we can be.
