Washington Black - Collapsed in the final third, but otherwise a good story. Shame it fell apart.
On my Kindle, now reading The Bandbox (1912) by Louis Joseph Vance.

I've only read one 87th Precinct novel, but I loved it and intend to read more eventually.
“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.”
I tried doing it by audio book a few years ago. Made it about 6 hrs into the 30 or so hrs it was and they still hadn't introduced Ahab or even gotten onto a boat. I was so bored and gave up.
I'm kinda grateful though that I tried because I'd been on a kick back then that for every "fluff" book I read I'd try to do one classic I'd never read before. Moby Dick made me realize how stupid that idea was and now I just read stuff I enjoy and avoid so called classic altogether.
I just finished the Star Trek The Next Generation novel Takedown by John Jackson Miller.
Beth Hart - Fire On The Floor CD Review
Beth Hart February 23rd, 2017 Boston, MA Concert Review
"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.
Finally getting to read Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty (2015) by Charles Leerhsen, which shows The Georgia Peach wasn't the racist psychopath we have been saddled with for close to 60 years. Maybe not to the point of Lucretia Borgia, but not many people have received the character assassination Cobb has had since his death. Hopefully this book changes that.
