On vacation last week I was able to finish:
When We Were Orphans, by Kazuo Ishiguro. The 4th of his books I’ve read so far, and I loved it.
I, Robot, by Isaac Asimov I don’t usually read of lot of hardcore sci-fi so this was an awesome foray into the genre. Loved all the logic around the three laws. Will definitely be reading the whole series.
Currently reading:
Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov just started this one and it is both beautiful and disturbing.
Mountains Beyond Mountains, by Tracy Kidder still chugging along on this one. While it’s very interesting and inspiring, I have it in a hard copy instead of Kindle, so it doesn’t travel with me and is a little slower going.

I've never been a reader my whole life, but this year I've been plowing through books for some reason. I never even planned to get into reading. I just finished my 15th book this year, and my "to-read" stack just keeps growing. But yeah, this week I have read:
Finished: The girl on the train, by Paula Hawkins
I had never heard about this book (or movie) before borrowing it from a friend, but after picking it up I heard about it everywhere. Even got it suggested to me by my mother-in-law who didin't know I had started it. I'm not a big thinker so I'll just say this book was ok. Not the best, not the worst.
Hurting distance, by Sophie Hannah
This is the second book in the series I've read. I liked this one more than the other (Little face was the first I read), but both of them were a bit.. shallow? (Dont know if that's the right word) Easy to read, exciting enough. Didn't like the characters when i read the first book, but then found it comforting reading bout them again so I guess they did stay with me.
I, ROBOT, by Isaac Asimov
Like I said before, I'm not a big thinker, so this one just blew my mind. Every story was more intriguing than the last one. Absolutely fantastic.
starting now: Watership down, by Richard Adams
I'm bringing up some childhood trauma starting this book. I remember watching the animated movie as a child and just bawling my eyes out. Maybe I'll be better equipped to handle the story now. Maybe.

Finished
The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett I loved The Maltese Falcon, so I thought I'd check out this book. It's very good.
Mike The Memoirs of Lester B. Pearson, vol. 2 This was very detailed, but good.
The Free-Time Formula by Jeff Sanders A time management book, with some straightforward advice.
The Lion Handbook of Science and Christianity Edited by R.J. Berry This appears to be a rather well-researched book; it has over 20 contributors in different areas, and 10 advisors.The book covers scientific discoveries and observations and what religion's stance on those topics were/are.
Started
I, Robot by Isaak Asimov I'm finding this book to be easier to get into than Brave New World.
Improving Your Memory by Janet Fogler and Lynn Stern It's pretty good so far, the chapters are short.
Overcoming Distractions by David A. Greenwood This is a good length book for teens or adult with ADHD To read.
Mike The Memoirs of Lester B. Pearson Volume 3 This is the final book of his memoirs.
