The Nix by Nathan Hill - for book club.  I wasn't digging the book to begin with but then I was out of town the night my book club met to discuss it so I gave a huge sigh of relief and dropped it.

Kept company with some excellent audiobooks while I am plowing through Middlemarch on the kindle for several weeks....

This has been on my TBR for awhile.  I will be interested in your appreciation (or not) for it.  Or even just an update while making your way through it.

64.  Sea of Tranquility, by Emily St. John Mandel (Aug 13) (audio).  So good!

So glad you liked it.  The final book of hers I am trying to read is The Lola Quartet.  Have you read it?

Kept company with some excellent audiobooks while I am plowing through Middlemarch on the kindle for several weeks....

This has been on my TBR for awhile.  I will be interested in your appreciation (or not) for it.  Or even just an update while making your way through it.

I was worried at first, with the florid Victorian language and the overall length, but I've actually really gotten into it (after the first hundred pages or so!) and am now very curious how things go with all the different characters (and there are quite a few).

64.  Sea of Tranquility, by Emily St. John Mandel (Aug 13) (audio).  So good!

So glad you liked it.  The final book of hers I am trying to read is The Lola Quartet.  Have you read it?

No, but I added it to my list, it sounds fascinating!  Hopefully I'll be able to get a hold of it, I think you mentioned having a hard time?  I also still haven't read The Glass Hotel and meant to read that before SOT, but somehow ended up with this one first.

[Splashncash]

Yes, I have had trouble finding it!  I've tried the two library systems I have access to and tried a number of bookstores over the past year.  Never ordered it but it may come to that.

38. On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony
I read this waaaaay back in my early teen years (the whole series) and loved it as I was very into sci fi and fantasy, but this didn't age well. I forgot the writing style that Anthony had sometimes lapsed over into treating his female characters as sex objects or filler. It's left me not very interested in reading further into the series.

74. Mr. Malcolm's List by Suzanne Alain

75. The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz
76. The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

I really enjoyed The Plot - it was both a stereotypically plotted thriller and literary at the same time. I think you get the most out of it if you read both genres. FWIW - my husband also read it and said he thinks you get more out of it if you don't regularly read thrillers because he was reading the book as meta commentary on writing and all of the sudden he found himself carried away by the narrative. So this book works on levels :)

But speaking of thrillers and plots - The House Across the Lake lost the plot big time and I thought the end was insane and I need to take a break from the genre.

I'm thinking of pulling out something quiet next. I still have Marilynne Robinson's "Jack" on my "to read" list. Other recommendations welcome!

287. Cautio Criminalis, or a Book on Witch Trials by Friedrich Spee von Langenfeld
This is one of the most interesting things I've ever read. Written by a Jesuit priest in the early 1600s, it's a fascinating question-and-answer-based argument against witch trials as they were conducted, and also an incredibly thorough look at how that whole system worked. The basis of logic he uses is so, so unique and fascinating, and it's a combination of logical reasoning and theology, with the theological parts treated as absolute fact (like making logical arguments for what the devil can and cannot do in certain circumstances, for example). Just a really excellent read.
