Murderous Proession by Ariana Franklin, 2010. It’s good but I am just not as interested in it as her first books. Seems to be how several series are affecting me these days. There are just too many other books I’d rather be reading. It’s a good read, just not great.

I am really enjoying Emma Donoghue’s Landing, 2007. Likable, interesting characters, from Dublin or from rural Ontario. She tells a good story. Looking forward to reading Room, up for the Booker, although I often hate those Booker books.

Generosity by Richard Powers, 2009. Interesting book, he keeps switching perspectives. Whose voice are we listening to? An off stage writer, the main character who is a writer teaching a writing class? Is happiness in our genetic code, to be manipulated?

Once a Spy by Keith Thompson, 2010. Charlie finds his father, Drummond, in the thoes of Alzheimer’s, but then finds out he was a spy. A mad chase ensues, bodies flying, a wild tale. Not a great book but the humour around Alzheimer’s is good.
