Been reading Memed My Hawk by Yashar Kemal for awhile now. Solid novel about a Turkish kid who becomes a bandit. Politically excellent. The first few pages are a little slow so don’t let them stop you.

Since I got my first full-time job in years I had this uncontrollable urge to read Michael Crichton’s Sphere. Don’t judge me too harshly. It’s kind of shitty and awesome at the same time? Like it’s almost just an outline for a movie script but it’s still keeping my interest as I’m dying of boredom at work. As a writer I can’t help being impressed by how Crichton throws a twist at you like every five pages for hundreds of pages. A high school friend of mine was obsessed with him.
