What are you reading?

I just finished "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which I loved. Just starting "We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves" by Karen Joy Fowler, and am rereading Josephine Tey's "Brat Farrar", an old favorite.

And Chris and I both loved "The Goldfinch".

I read Goldfinch at Thanksgiving break - really liked it.

If you like short stories, Machine of Death and This is How You Die are really good.

Those short stories collections sound totally cool! Just bought Machine of Death on kindle--thanks.

I have also fallen wildly in love with audiobooks, which are a new source of steady income for a lot of really great actors. Audiobooks can bring some books vividly to life that haven't worked for me as well in text. Chris listened to the audiobook for "The Goldfinch", and I will probably listen to it someday. I read it on the kindle. And I have a little crush on Boris from that book. Just couldn't HELP myself.

Oh, yes. I am also reading all of Daniel Woodrell's books. He is the author of "Winter's Bone", which I loved. He paints his own world of the Ozarks beautifully, and it's a world most of us don't know. I like his writing very much.
