Um, OK. Data points: currently reading Stephen L. Carter’s Back Channel and Julia Alvarez’s latest. Before that were The Goldfinch and Ann Patchett’s most recent. John Connolly’s new one is probably next, but everybody knows the Irish aren’t really white.Every october i read a scary book. Or at least a book that fits the october aura. This has all the hallmarks of a scary book but i don't know of it qualifies.
That said two chapters in and it is incredibly haunting. Also just as an aside when i picked this up i realized how rarely anyone on this thread reads non white male authors. Which is jist an observation and i also realize this is not a strong source of data or anything.

Oh, and for what it’s worth it’s been a good little run. I can heartily recommend all of those (except the Connolly one as I haven’t read it, but really his books are pretty much all the same — either you find them enjoyable brain candy or you don’t.) And on that note, somewhere in there I read Louise Penny’s latest Chief Inspector Gamache book. It’s pretty much indistinguishable from the precious 347 in the series, which is of course just fine with her fans.
