Just finished Jim Harrison's The Great Leader. Anyone fond of Hemingway should try Harrison.
Main character is a just retired Michigan State Police detective from the UP. He is chasing personal demons, brook trout, and a cult leader with a fondness for underage girls.
We lost Harrison not so long ago, tho perhaps in the nick of time. "No one was less suited to assisted living than Jim," was the consensus as age, wear and tear, and a fondness for adult beverages took their toll on his body.

I remember that one surprising me the first time I read it at how philosophical it was.
I'm about to start this one.
The latest book of The Expanse. Tiamat's Wrath.
I love the Expanse books and the show, which is now on Amazon Prime after being cancelled by SyFy.
I am about 1/2 way through. Let us know what you think. I do not think I will comment further until I finish it, but I think I wll have further comment.
Thanks for the tip! This podcast is new to me and it looks good!
I will, Rob.
Just finished Berlin Game
Switched off Where the Crawdads Sing to Philip Kerr's latest and last Bernie Gunther book, Metropolis, just posthumously released.
I could cry reading this. So far this is as good as any in the 14 book series. What a lose for Kerr to die last year at the age of 62. A protean figure in this kind of literature.

I finally, finally, finished Winston Churchill's book on the Boer War. Not a bad read, but I was at the point where I was doing anything but reading. I've read a lot of Churchill in the last year, so maybe it's author fatigue. Or maybe I just don't find his earlier works as interesting as his later ones. I didn't find "The Malakand Field Force" or "The River War" especially compelling, either.
Anyway, that's done. Now on to "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame," by Victor Hugo. Had it sitting on my shelf for years, and I figured now is the time to read it.

Great Expectations is, well, great.
I'm also doing The Obelisk Gate on audio, NK Jemisin's second book in her Broken Earth trilogy.
