I finished The House in the Cerulean Sea in an 8-hour binge. It is wonderful and wonderful and wonderful.
I'm a couple chapters into The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.
I knew this was not a light read, but, wow, this is tough, heavy subject matter. Well written, but ooof.

Since Christmas I have read several Christie Poirot novels:
-Death on the Nile
-The ABC Murders
-The Mysterious Affair at Styles
-Evil Under the Sun
She is so clever, the books are such a delight.
I've not read that one, but I did read Jennifer Doudna's A Crack in Creation. It's as good of a science for the educated lay public as you're going to find. (Is that the right term? Specialized lay public? You would need to know something about genetics, so it's not just for anyone, unlike some of Bill Bryson's popular science books)I've just finished Walter Isaacson's The Code Breaker which is all about gene-editing and the people who invented and developed it. Fascinating stuff, while we're all heading out for our covaxes...
I loved those. I find the character of Murderbot really appealing.I'm finishing the last installment of the Muderbot Diaries series. Most of them are novellas, though the second-to-last book was novel length. I've really enjoyed them.
