I just finished "The Making of Donald Trump," by David Cay Johnston. Heckuva read.
I've read pretty much every one of Donna Leon's Brunetti books, and enjoyed them all:
The Official Website of Donna Leon
The Brunetti books have been on my to-read list for a long time. Thank you for the reminder!
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Enjoyed it very much.
hey it's been waiting on my shelf for quite a time already. hope it will not disappoint me too
currently reading "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen - very absorbing and really brilliant
I also favour nonfiction. The Gene is on my list. I also recommend Mukherjee's first book, The Emperor of All Maladies, a biography of Cancer.
Unlike most here, I mainly read nonfiction.
The latest is an extraordinarily well written account of how genes were discovered and understood (as far as they are currently understood).
The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee
I looked this up and it looks interesting. Apparently this in #3 in a series of Harry Hole crime novels that might go together.Just finished The Redeemer by Jo Nesbo.....good read.

Do Audio Books count? If so, I am listening to 'Under the Dome'. It is far, far, far better than the TV show of the same name.
