What I’m reading
“Ghost Story”, Peter Straub (audiobook). I was hopeful after having enjoyed his collaborations with Stephen King (“The Talisman” and “Black House”). While I enjoyed some of the prose, I’m not sure I would’ve made it through if I were reading it instead of listening while doing other things.
“The Odyssey”, Homer / Emily Wilson - translator (audiobook). Fairly approachable modern translation written in iambic pentameter verse and narrated by Claire Danes. Includes a lengthy introduction and translator’s note that provides additional context.
In progress:
- “The End of the World: Stories of the Apocalypse”, multiple authors.
- “Side Jobs: Stories from the Dresden Files”, Jim Butcher.
- “Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor”, Ally Carter.
