The Day of Battle. The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944 by Rick Atkinson. The second in his outstanding WWII trilogy.

[Kaesekopf]

I ran right through "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" by John LeCarre.  It was pretty good.  I had seen his novels recommended online.  Chewed through it in under two days.  Pretty engaging story.  Kept me going from page to page, chapter to chapter.   

Also, gosh I am so happy about the Overdrive app or whatever you wanna call it.  In my state, at least, it coordinates the lending of ebooks via Amazon and my local public library.  Has saved me so much money and time (from buying fiction books or running to the library). 

If you like overdrive.... check to see if they have Libby.  I like that one a lot for audio books. My library also has a roku app called Kanopy for streaming movies.

I think for my state, Libby is part of Overdrive (or vice versa). 

I haven't looked into Kanopy but I'll check!  My friends were recently singing the praises of just buying secondhand DVD copies (I think Greg was as well).

If you're in the mood for "Kristin Lavransdatter," but you've already read it 3 times, you might want to try "Olav Audunssøn," Sigrid Undsett's subsequent novel. There's a new translation available, and they just finished the 4th volume. [Previously titled "The Master of Hestviken."]

Excellent. I was hoping they'd have a new translation of that.

I can't focus much on printed books at the moment, so I'm doing all of my "reading" via audiobooks. Last night was The Queen of Hearts, by Wilkie Collins. A collection of loosely connected short stories.

Getting ready to start Martin Chuzzlewit. I always skip the American chapters.
