I've amassed most of the books I haven't read yet in Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series. I still have the last on my WL, but I have 5 to read before I get to that one and have read 1 through 4 before. If trading slows down I have other books I'd like to reread. |

I've been reading The Maze Runner series by Dashner. Appropriately it's about a virus that causes people to go really crazy and then they die. The Governments get together to find a cure, but they do really unspeakable acts in the process. I've seen the movies, but the books are always better! Here's my next one... The Influenza Bomb |

I'm at home by myself and with social distancing there isn't anywhere to go. I've done a little bit of extra cleaning and some puzzles, but most of my time is spent reading. So far in March I've read:

I am reading Chernov's long and detailed biography of George Washington,albeit very slowly. Sometimes, Chernov practically fawns over GW, is is also always very wordy, but will give the straight dope on GW, as in he acquired many thousands of acres through what, today, would be lighly illegal insider trading. Also that he could count his slaves in the hundreds, and was known whip them with a cat of nines lash just to be sure they were alway afraid of the results if they did not work hard all the time. Also, a biography of Otis Chandler that describes how the Chandlers, aided and abetted by the Los Angeles Times Otis' father founded, were easily the most politically powerful people in Southern California for many years. Also, I just read This is How You Lose her by Junot Diaz; and this man is the most talented writer I have read in a long time. |
