I thought the family might be interested in some of these books I've read lately:
Flavia de Luce mysteries:
• The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.
• The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag.
Viva Flavia! She's more interesting than Mma Ramotswe and DCS Foyle combined!
• The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. April also loved these. Can’t wait for the final book in the series.
I've been into the psychology of choice lately. In that category I've read and enjoyed:
• Blink. Recommended.
• Switch.
• Nudge. Recommended if you like Behavioral Economics and Law.
• Sway.
Books with a lot about autism/Asperger’s in them:
• Look Me in the Eye: My life with Asperger's. Highly recommended.
• Create Your Own Economy. Loved this book.
• See also Blink from above.
Other books.
• The Devil and Sherlock Holmes
• The Percy Jackson books. (H. Potter ripoffs, but still good)
• The Maze Runner.
• 1776
• Open. (Couldn’t put it down.)

Do you have any Flavia de Luce books I can borrow? They sound good. Re Open - I also could not put it down. Why? I don't know, but I couldn't. I'm reading Moby Dick - from my list of books I should have read by now but haven't. So far, 20% through, it's OK, not much more than that. Next up is A Tale of Two Cities. The new Ladies Detective book is much like all the others - entertaining, easy, short.
I haven't been reading anything. Lame, I know.
I'm putting an end to that nonsense with Open, which I'm about 150 pages into and loving--but I'm also short on time for reading it. Though I agree with Mom--it's difficult to stop reading it, and I've been late a couple of times because I was reading it while eating cereal in the morning.
Mom--sorry, I only have them on Kindle.
By the way, the "look me in the eye" book is absolutely hilarious in places. Some of the pranks/humor remind me of Scott's sense of humor.
