Can anyone recommend a book I can get lost in? Escapism, something to take my mind off of things.

I got really into Liane Moriarty in the beginning of the year. Flew through all her books. They all follow the same sort of format with a twist ended.

The House on the Cerulean Sea was a good read. The author is queer, and the book has a great theme of acceptance. It is a different world with interesting characters that are not all human.

Did anyone read this yet ? I'm not sure how much I liked the paragraph long sentences but it has some very distinctive Kafkaesque tones. The book has already seen widely different reviews from different political camps. Ex-McKinsey & Company consultants are really becoming mainstream authors now.

Just read this rather fun book spanning across quite an eclectic scope. Landsberg is one of my fav economics writer who has a snarky sense of humor and gets you thinking about obvious stuff.
