"Squeeze Me" by Carl Hiaasen.
Thanks to Moog for the heads up post a few weeks ago that it was out. It's pretty funny so far

Re: What are YOU reading?
Yea. I go to three libraries and so far only 2 reopened to browsing. But I have at least 300 books in my library upstairs.lime rickie wrote: ↑October 7, 2020 6:30 pm Our library finally just re-opened and I need to get over there. They were doing order online and pick up outside but it's just not the same as browsing the stacks.

“We love to buy books because we believe we're buying the time to read them."
Gardner McKay
Toyer
Haruki Murakami
The Wind Up Bird Chronicle
Men Without Women
David Quammen
The Tangled Tree
*Spillover
Bruce Cockburn
Rumours Of Glory
James Welch
Fool’s Crow
Joan Didion
We Tell Ourselves Stories In Order To Live
Saul Bellow
The Adventures of Augie March
Tom Hanks
Uncommon Type
Jay Winik
1944
April, 1865
*The Great Upheaval
Steven Brill
America’s Bitter Pill
Somerset Maugham
Points of View
The Gentleman In The Parlor
On A Chinese Screen
A Traveler In Romance
The quote at the top is from Warren Zevon, a voracious reader of a massive personal book collection. This is my current list of "to be read" with an asterisk by the ones I've already started. The last book on the list in bold by Maugham is a book I purchased from Crystal Zevon, Warren's widow. She has been slowly selling Warren's library for charity. An amazingly diverse collection and I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a book from his collection by one of my favorite writers. I'm hoping I've purchased the time to read all of them, but life has no guarantees.

Now I've got a terminal daydream,
That's something you'll never know
I keep it right here in my backpack, mon
And I take it wherever I go.

Re: What are YOU reading?
Kudos on that. I've never been able to read more than one book at the same time.

"Kudos on that. I've never been able to read more than one book at the same time."
It helps to not double up on genres. more than one fiction can be difficult. Otherwise it's a bit of reverting back to college and reading for multiple classes. Something scientific, something historical, and some fiction aren't too bad, but more than one of any type can be confusing sometimes.

I own a very small fraction of a percentage of one of American Pharoah's daughter's. She is in training but has not made it to the track yet.
