The Daugter of Time / Josephine Tey.
The blurb looked interesting, Tey is from the early-middle 20th century English mystery-writers school, a contemporary (and not a favorite one) of Agatha Christie. I am enjoying this immensely even though I just started it tonight.
Here is the GoodReads entry with some really eloquent reviews. LINK

Madame Bovary - Flaubert
Not a page turner, but if you’re like me you will never forget it. Flaubert makes the reader experience her ennui.

Is this any good? I have in my Amazon cart but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I enjoyed it. It’s definitely not The Firm or A Time To Kill, but I would call it a pleasant summer read. It’s less than 300 pages so it’s not a major commitment of your time. Be sure you read Camino Island first.

Holy Cow. I have known about Suribachi since a child. I knew it was a difficult battle. I had never read in-depth however. This was like Omaha Beach times 20 days and worse, with an enemy that did not know the meaning of surrender or did not value their own lives.

Still working on the Lovecraft Cthulhu Mythos collections, but also just started "The Founding" by Dan Abnett.
It's an omnibus of the first three novels and a short story/novella concerning Gaunt's Ghosts set in the Warhammer 40k universe.

My review.
quote:
I recognized so much of my own extended family in the recounting of this history, especially the generational pattern being the youngest of my generation (the fourth) the son of the youngest of her generation. My grandmother was born here, but had siblings who came from Sicily. I would love to share copies with all of my cousins, some of whom I have only met in the last ten years, and we show that almost completely Americanized character yet yearning for our family roots.
My review.
