What Fiction are you reading this week, March 2, 2025? [View all]
Abandon despair, ye who enter here
I'm reading The Sinister Pig by Tony Hillerman. And no, it's not about "him," just other greedy, cruel and not terribly bright politicians. When oil/gas production is involved, it always brings out the worst in people. Thank goodness for good guys like Leaphorn and Chee.
Speaking of political corruption, I'm listening to The Fixer Upper by Mary Kay Andrews. After her boss is caught in a political scandal, a fledgling Washington lobbyist is left broke, unemployed, and homeless. She moves into a decaying old mansion in a small town in Georgia planning to rehab and sell it. It has its funny moments but it's not great.
Stay hopeful, my friends.
