Books Read

I posted a review last week of The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat by Edward Kelsey Moore.  I loved this book!

What I’m reading now

I am finishing up A Dual Inheritance by Joanna Hershon (30 pages left)!!!  I am enjoying it, but it isn’t a fast read.

What’s up next?– The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of a Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson.

Synopsis-A reluctant centenarian much like Forrest Gump (if Gump were an explosives expert with a fondness for vodka) decides it’s not too late to start over…

After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he’s still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn’t interested (and he’d like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some unpleasant criminals, a friendly hot-dog stand operator, and an elephant (not to mention a death by elephant).
