What are you reading this week of March 5, 2017?

16. FINALLY finished Louise Erdrich's book, LaRose and I discovered why it took me so long to read

it--I didn't want the story to end. All of her books have so many complex characters and yet I never have done an outline of those characters when I start reading. Note to self: next time you read a book by Louise Erdrich--unless you are planning to read it in one sitting, make a family tree and an outline of the characters from the very beginning, otherwise you will wind up with characters you don't remember several chapters into the book. I loved LaRose and think it is the best book I've read this year, so I'll add it to my list for 2017.

I found a new author as well as a free download at amazon, so I started this last night and am already sucked into the story.

James Welch, The Indian Lawyer

Sylvester Yellow Calf is a former reservation basketball star, a promising young lawyer, and a possible congressional candidate. But when a parolee ensnares him in a blackmail scheme, he'll have to decide just who he is, and what he wants.
