10. my current fiction book is

Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips, which I think someone mentioned here a while back.

My non fiction is America's Reluctant Prince: The life of John F. Kennedy Jr. by Steven Gillon, who first met Kennedy as a grad student at Brown teaching a class that young Kennedy was in. They became friends and stayed in touch over the years, so he has personal insight. He was also able to talk to all of the principals still living, except for Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg.

It's very good. I'm up to where Carolyn Bessette has come into his life, and she apparently made a lot of late night/wee hours of the morning phone calls to Kennedy's business partner at George, Michael Berman, screaming at him over various things and slights. So far Gillon hasn't made his own observations here, but she was either coked up much of the time, or simply crazy.

Anyway, good book. I'll recommend it.
