“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
Just finished reading Richard Russo's Everybody's Fool, which was quite good-- Russo's best for at least the past 15 years. Also, Patrick Madden's essay collection Sublime Physick was excellent. Just started Karen Russell's Vampires in the Lemon Grove, too.

"I can't complain. I got to be Jim Morrison for the first half of my life, and Ward Cleaver for the second half." - Warren Zevon.
I am almost finishing reading The Ants by Peter Tremayne.Ants in horror stories is not that usual,but i am enjoying reading it.
And i am almost finished reading the Bloodbones by Jonathan Green.Now this is a gamebook RPG of the Fighting Fantasy franchise not a book per say.All though the book is more about reading that the RPG part of this collection of books.About the stories it´s not bad,not my favorite from the Fighting Fantasy books i have read but entertaining.
I'm reading Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. I wouldn't normally buy a romance book about teenagers, but Rowell's Runaways work made me interest to read more from her. Can't say I'm disappointed, it's very very good.
Read the "Ballad of Black Tom" by Victor Lavalle yesterday.

Black Leopard Red Wolf by Marlon James, set in a fantastical pre-colonial Africa, a man known only as Tracker is hired to find a mysterious boy. A highly imaginative and adventurous story with inspirations from African mythology and folklore. The book is written from the perspective of the protagonist and as such is entirely written in a dialect that takes some getting used to. Although the story being told does have a conclusion, it also makes use of a framing device which is sort of left unresolved. A really enjoyable, if emotionally draining read.
