Eric Ambler's A Coffin for Dimitrios. It's supposed to be a great thriller. I am not feeling it. It's one of his pre-WWII novels, which people cite as classics of the genre. Oh well, I am only about a third in. Maybe I will start enjoying it soon.

people who enjoy atmospheric pre-WWII spy stories set in Europe ( and particularly Eastern Europe ) might enjoy novels by Alan Furst ( ie. "Spies of Warsaw ", etc. ) Nobody sets this murky, realistic environment better.

"Crossing the Unknown Sea Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity" by David Whyte
Enjoy David Whyte's poetry, here he engages his philosophical perspective...solid writing. And one of my favorite authors Haruki Murakami's "Men Without Women" short stories...like taking a deep, deep dive. Greco |

I'm reading books I absolutely enjoyed during last summer:
Big Little Lies (Liane Moriarty), The Help (Kathryn Stockett) and Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (Fannie Flagg).

I read recently on Nicole Kidman's and Reese Witherspoon's f.b. pages that they are filming season two of Big Little Lies! Some interesting scenarios that might be expanded: 1) Jane and the coffee barrister, whom the girls thought was gay, but is not. 2) Madeline (Reese W.) Had an affair with the performing arts guy, so that's an possibility. She kept telling her husband that he was first in her life, but he knew he really wasn't, but Madeline has issues with her ex-husband who's together with the yoga instructor, on top of the affair she had too. 3) There is also the outcome of Ziggy, Jane's son, and being blamed for what the twin sons of Nicole Kidman's character did to Ziggy (bullying by parents kids and school staff). There's a LOT that could happen in season two, for sure.
