[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My primary right now is “The Ghost Map,” by Steven Johnson. It’s NF about the 1854 cholera outbreak in London, which in part shaped modern understanding of disease spread. Very interesting and well written; listening and reading.

I just got “The Midnight Train” by Matt Haig (new release) on audio, a sequel to “The Midnight Library”; excited to start that soon.[/quote]

I finished “The Ghost Map” and enjoyed it; it was published in 2006, and it was interesting to read post-pandemic and given recent shifts in public health management.

I’m enjoying “The Midnight Train,” about a man who dies and is being taken back through key moments in his life…fairly light in tone so far (vs Vigil).

I’m almost done with Ben Lerner’s “Transcription,” a very short, kind of experimental novel that explores parental relationships and the challenges of modern, affluent parenting (intersecting with tech and the pandemic). Engaging and a bit philosophical; not plot driven.

Next up: Ann Patchett’s new novel “Whistler”…I usually love her writing, so especially looking forward to this read.

I think I need a nonfiction option in the mix—thoughts on The History of the World in Six Glasses or The Man Who Pays the Rent (Judi Dench on Shakespeare)?[/quote]
