Again.

Been several days without that little pull in the hamstring, so I'm planning another try on Monday. Suppose I could have waited until after I actually tried to run before I posted about it, but I'm a little antsy.

Other than that, not much happening here.

Latest books:

• The Dark Tower (VII - last one). Stephen King. Sort of just wanted this one to be over. Hated the ending. King wrote that he added it after the first publication because everyone wanted a "real" ending. I think he should have left it where it was.
• The Rembrandt Affair. Daniel Silva. Israeli superspy Gabriel Allon wins again.
• The Mark of the Assassin. Daniel Silva. Not about Allon, but a side figure from the CIA. Not a bad escape.
• Watchers. Dean Koontz. Never read any Koontz before, but I've decided I will.
• The Silent Corner. Dean Koontz. Confirmed my decision on Koontz.
• Gilead. Marilynne Robinson. Small town in Iowa. Well written but pretty boring.
• Lila. Marilynne Robinson. One of the sidebooks from Gilead. Good writing but didn't like the character.
• Jack. Marilynne Robinson. Another. Really disliked this guy, who had so few (none?) redeeming qualities.
• Where the Crawdads Sing. Delia Owens. Heard this was popular lately, so gave it a shot. Didn't love it. The twist ending was no surprise.
• Casino Royale. Ian Fleming. Seen all the 007 movies but this was the first time reading one of the originals. May or may not do more.
• The Guest List. Lucy Foley. Not a bad little mystery, well told from several different perspectives.
• Strange and Obscure Stories of World War II. Don Aines. The chapters about different war movies could have been skipped, but the actual stories were interesting and worth the time.
• The Bomber Mafia. Malcolm Gladwell. ALWAYS a fan of Gladwell's work.
• The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Suzanne Collins. Prequel to The Hunger Games series. If you like HG, you'll probably like this, too.
