What Fiction are you reading this week, February 3, 2019? [View all]
Library in Switzerland, where it's often really cold
Hi
Hope everyone is thawed out now and more or less back to normal.
Speaking of chilling, I am reading one of the scariest books ever, Preston & Child's White Fire. Now, I don't often get freaked out by a book but I was reading this at 1 a.m. and I was alone when I heard a noise in my living room. Granted, I do live with several cats who are often bumping into things but I really started wondering if someone was trying to break into my house. Just like in the story. 0,0 ... I got quite scared. Fortunately, my housemate came home shortly thereafter and assured me that this book had also been fright-inducing back when he read it. Nothing to worry about around here, though. Whew
There are so many things about this book that I am really liking. This great line, for instance: "..human beings construct a narrative out of random events, baseless assumptions, and simple-minded prejudices." Boy, ain't that the truth?
My audible book is still The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. I think it 's pretty good. It could be a bit tighter in the final chapters but I am enjoying it, overall.
What are you enjoying these days?
