Cover of book A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
Set in New Orleans with a wild cast of characters. A novel with many threads that tie together satisfyingly. Hilarious, sad, but ultimately redeeming. The backstory of the author and novel is pretty fascinating. Loved it.

Thoroughly enjoying this collection of four Sherlock Homes novels. Great Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition!
The ADHD first person narrative of Holden Caulfield must have influenced writers in the following decade. A bit cutting edge at the time. Enjoyed. J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.

Not my typical genre. But a fun story nonetheless. A creative page turner that really brings to light the insanity of online culture. Pretty zany.

Cover of book Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck
Snapshot of America in 1960 with Steinbeck as our guide, exploring the land and interacting with the people, becomes a cry out for sanity from the old patterns of not recognizing the humanity of those that don’t look like “us”. Relevant today. Loved it.

Cover of book The Tortilla Curtain by T. C. Boyle
The Tortilla Curtain by T. C. Boyle, a hard hitting novel about losing your soul to hatred based on someone being different than you, is very timely despite the 1995 publishing. Great writing. I love Penguin Ink editions.
