The irrational yet irrestible urge to know or make known. The CC is a "club" founded by a small group of medical professionals, who have made a pastime of turning medical cases and discussions into medically irrelevant history lessons, philosophical rants, and displays of one-upsmanship. The official premise, since the "club" was named, has been to exchange and discuss various books, movies, and ideas. Sometimes we eat sushi.

Italian Shoes, do they fit?
This is the book I won't suggest. Now I have you interested. It is very Swedish and the main character is a physician.
I can remember every detail of this book vividly. Is that a characteristic of a good book? There are several I have no memory of at all.
Now I am reading 4 short stories by Mankell, the verdict is still out.
I thought Beat the Reaper was your next book. I am currently listening to another good one. It has me listening at home as well as on the road, which is my best indicator of a good book. I will spill the beans soon.
ReplyDeleteIt was my intention. I got stuck on Mankell and am about finished with his short stories "The Pyramid and four other stories". This character, Kurt Wallander, is his forte and I wanted to sample his murder mystery books. Interesting and again VERY Swedish! Was taking to Bert before rotary the other day and ask what he was reading---a Mankell mystery! Maybe good(weird) minds follow similar channels.
ReplyDeleteListening at home can be dangerous for me, not only does it show that I am inattentive to el spouseo, but I may go to sleep and not know where I am in the book.
ReplyDeleteI do listen while I am walking my new dog though.
