Some Book Updates
Here are some titles I’ve gone through since my last update. I’m still doing my alternating cycles of non-fiction then a detective/pulp or other fiction.
A History of America in Ten Strikes by Erik LoomisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
good history and overview- shows impact right up to today
A good one that turned out to be timely as we are now at Labor Day weekend.
I read this next one a few months ago.
How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. KendiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A lot to digest. And a lot of homework for me to be a better ally and an antiracist
A popular and timely book: (well, it shouldn’t need to be timely, but it is). Well-written and thought-provoking.
And here are some of the mysteries:
Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter MosleyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve read other Mosley books, but not any of the Easy Rollins series. They were in my “to read” list after watching Luke Cage when it came out on Netflix and they dropped so many interesting titles in references on the show.
A Red Death by Walter MosleyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Still engaging with the characters.
Lucky at Cards by Sheldon LordMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I think this one was a Lawrence Block title and I breezed through it. Pretty fun pulp. Looking forward to his Scudder series at some point.
And another recommended read:
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki MurakamiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
