The Queen's Man by Sharon Kay Penman.

Usually Penman writes sweeping historical epics set in medieval England. This time she's let her hair down and has pounded out a medieval murder mystery.

Amazon.com: The Eternal Husband and Other Stories: 9780553214444: Dostoevsky, Fyodor, Pevear, Richard, Volokhonsky, Larissa: Books

The centerpiece of this collection , "The Eternal Husband" (1890) is one of Dostoevsky's most perfect works. Classical in form, it presents his most profound exploration of mimetic rivalry and the duality of human consciousness. Told from the point of view of a rich and idle man who is confronted by a younger rival, the husband of his former, and now deceased, mistress, the story portrays the interchanging hatred and love of the two men.

Not great books, but not bad either. The end is kinda irritating, to me.

ACK!

Just finished "The Plot Against America" by Phillip Roth. It was ok.

Now I'm reading "Shame" by Salman Rushdie.

Lord, I couldn't stand Phillip Roth's writing. I was tempted to mail him a free copy of "Elements of Style" by Strunk & White.

Currently reading "Charlie Wilson's War" by George Crile. It's very interesting, and I shudder to think how the story must, inevitably, have been butchered when it was adapted for the silver screen.
