Books! How do you read and what do you read?

I just finished the second book in Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, The Man Who Died Twice. Clever, fun and enjoyable. As was the first. I'm delaying watching the Netflix series until I've read all 4 of the books in case the Netflix plot mirrors a book plot.

I just finished The Doorman, by John Pavone. A real NYC story of money, love, hatred, greed and caring.
I'm moving on to Let There Be Laughter, a collection of Jewish humor by Michael Krasny.

I'm reading Replaceable You, by Mary Roach. She is an excellent science writer. This book is about replacement body parts, the current scientific research on transplants, parts that are prostheses, parts from other humans, parts from animals (pigs, especially). It is very interesting.

I recently read Billion-Dollar Ransom, by James Patterson. It was good, but it seemed really long. I wanted it to end so I could read Replaceable You! It was a good book.

Ed and I have been reading "The Haymeadow" but Gary Paulsen (author who wrote "Hatchet"). I love books that open a whole new world/ livelihood to me... in this case, sheep ranching. Very good read, even if it is aimed at teens.

Mary Roach is my absolute favorite science writer. She makes any topic interesting and understandable.

I read WWII historical documents and books written by guys that were actually in combat during WWII or WWI! I have also read a few books written by guys who fought in the Korean War and the Civil War. I really enjoy reading what they experienced during the wars. I also have read many books about the wars so that I have an understanding of what and where the soldiers were.
