The Unlived Lives of Raymond Quinn
by William Matthies
I was really looking forward to reading this book. The premise was interesting but the dialog was so stilted and unrealistic - to me. That'll teach me to buy the next book in a series before reading the first.

Mrs. Plansky's Revenge
An Audible audiobook by Spencer Quinn & read by Petrea Burchard
It's nice to read a book where the protagonist is the exact same age as myself but not decrepit! But I wish the author would hurry up and publish a new Chet and Bernie adventure.

Poverty, by America

Saw the author on Jon Stewart and was intrigued. He makes good points but I'm not hopeful that people - Americans - can come together to make positive changes.
