Just finished John Grisham's The Guardians.

Just finished Metropolis, Philip Kerr’s latest Bernie Gunther novel (the 418th in the series, I think).
If you’re a fan of the series, it’s a pleasantly entertaining read. If not, it’s nothing special. ??‍♂️

The Brothers Karamazov. About a third through, and it hasn't really sparked my interest. I'm assuming the payout is worth it in the end giving the near universal praise it gets.

Finished "The Hot Hand the Mystery and Science of Streaks" by Ben Cohen

I'm under a shelter in place order so I'm catching up on my reading.

Finished the other day, "The Killing in the Consulate. Investigating the life and death of Jamal Khashoggi" by Jonathan Rugman

A very good read. Didn't know he was related to the arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi

Finished "Baseball Cop, the Dark Side of America's National Pastime" by Eddie Dominguez.

I guess MLB really doesn't want any scandals to come to light.

Blackout Starlight: New and Selected Poems, by Bruce Bond. The best contemporary poet, IMO.

This one always got to me:

The Sun Magazine | River | By Bruce Bond | Issue 338

In each issue of The Sun you’ll find some of the most radically intimate and socially conscious writing being published today. In an age of media conglomerates, we’re something of an oddity: an ad-free, independent, reader-supported magazine.

Huh?

He used to insist in the Investments thread that the inherent aggregate value of bitcoin would inevitably equal global GDP, contrasted with fiat currency which has no inherent value.

Oh. LOL!

Finished "Sexy Beasts, the true story of the diamond Geezers and the record breaking $100 million Hatton Garden heist" by Wensley Clarkson

 

[Joffrey]

Almost half-way through this.

Next on my to-read list. I've never had a big urge to read this since I've seen the movie but decided to take the leap since there are several other Ripley books.
