Career of Evil, the third Cormorant Strike book by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling). Have the fourth one ready to go. But I might have to go find something more cheering. Murder mysteries might not be the best option.

I loved Rene Auberjonois! I saw him on stage in San Francisco with Imogene Coca in The Foreigner. I went by myself and laughed until I cried. He was fabulous!

I'm trying find books that are more lighthearted to laugh-out-loud funny. It helps, a little.

will make you laugh. I read one of his books a few years ago and had to go into a different room from my husband because my laughing and howling was disturbing his reading!

I'm at page 114. The introductory reveal has been a bit slow, but it is getting more interesting.

definitely got the timing right for that one.

I've read most of his books. "Lamb" and "Fool" are my favorite.

I'm reading "I, Claudius" by Robert Graves. Despite all the vicious backstabbing, political maneuvering and general "heinous
fuckery" (favorite phrase in "Fool&quot , it's also surprisingly funny at times.

This one is definitely "special," although it has the usual wit and demonry found in his other books.

Graves' book "is written in the form of Claudius' autobiography and is one of the classics of modern fiction, the best fictional reconstruction of Rome ever written." Sounds great.

Thanks hermetic... you stay healthy too.
I guess I'm gonna have to get creative regarding reading material. Possibly more online reading.

You might get an online account for your library and see if they have Overdrive or LYNX, or some other ebook offerings. You don't need a reader, you can just view or listen with your browser.

Many libraries are opening a drive through service. You select the book you want and then pick it up, outside.

Best wishes to you.

1. Browse Valley Downloadable Libraries or RBdigital.

2. Select and check out with your MLNV library card.

3. Download to your PC, MAC, or Mobile device; for device-specific instructions, click one of the following options below:
iPod, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch (iOS), Android (Galaxy, Nexus, etc.), Kindle, Kindle Fire, NOOK, Chromebook, Kobo

Do you know if any of these are free? Which can be used with a laptop?

Thanks again, hermetic. Stay healthy.

for the delay. Busy week. Who ever thought that going to the grocery store for a few items would require SO MUCH preparation? Ah well, safety first.

But, yes, check out your RB book and a reader thing will install on your computer. It's quick and unobtrusive. Or you can opt to use your libraries system which works okay, once you get the hang of it. Look for where you can leave a bookmark so you don't completely loose track of where you were. That's happened to me a few times.

Stay well.

You can download digital audio and e-books to your phone.

Will that apply to a laptop?

desktop. You would need to link to RBDigital thru your library system with your library card #.

Don't recommend for these days!

Not for the faint of heart.

The fourth spin-off from the "Death in Paradise" TV series. Escapism, which is much needed, obv.

Next up - not sure. We have a houseful of books, so I can escape into those for the long-haul.

Haven't left the house for 8 days, and don't plan to for a fair while. This country is full of idiots and I'm waiting for them to get it and recover/cull themselves.

Just wait it out and hope the toilet tissue holds up.

The Daughter of Time. That's after I finished my 2nd reading of Tony Hillerman's The Blessing Way.
