I just finished Andre Agassi's autobiography.
Fascinating guy, well-written book too. My only complaint is a pet peeve, really: he doesn't put quotation marks around sentences that people are speaking. Other than that, thoroughly enjoyable! 4 out of 5 stars.

I've read the first three Harry Bosch books written by Michael Connelly, on the fourth now. He's not bad, not quite hard-boiled, but let's say the yolk is just set. Entertaining at least. Need to find some good fantasy or sci-fi.

Just read a weird sci-fi novel about a mixed race couple caught in the middle of a race war in NYC,set in the future - all the way into 1996! The book was published in 1982, so it could have been written years before that. It had interesting parts & cheesy parts. Overall, I'd give it a 'C' - it's called Night Of Power, FTR.
Now onto some more "hard boiled" police crime drama. My local library used to always have a good mix of stuff in the "Paperback Swap" section, now it's 90% romance & crime drama.

 If you've never read this - which you probably haven't - do so. You'll thank me. |

Just finished Malcolm Gladwell's new book " Talking To Strangers." Not his best work, and I didn't really agree with some of his conclusions, but still a very interesting read. I'd like to dig deeper into some of the data he brought up. Here's a good summary... www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02666-6This part was really interesting: |
