Reading Update
Aug. 26th, 2020 08:29 pm Ministry of Moral Panic by Amanda Lee Koe
A short story collection where none of them worked for me. Too many of the kind that made me uncharitably go "do straight people really live like this". (Uncharitable, because two stories had some f/f, but they were no more gripping.) The laundromat story was the closest to something interesting. Knocking the author's novel off my to-read list.
The Grapes Of Wrath by John Steinbeck
That's an ending. Liked this one, really liked the writing style and the rhythm of the chapters, which was unexpected since I remember nothing other than the bare outlines of Of Mice And Men.
Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow
About Farrow's investigation into the Weinstein cases, the book reads like a thriller. Farrow stumbles across entire networks of men and women covering for the guy, complete with spy agencies, NBC's own cover-ups getting revealed and the tabloid practice of silencing stories about famous from which the book gets its name. Yet the real terror is how often someone initially sympathetic to Farrow's investigation reveals themself to be another "friend of Harvey's".
