Oh, today is #WorldBookDay!
What's everyone reading? If I finish my book promo prep in time, I'm diving back into Sanora Babb's Whose Names Are Unknown. And after that? Jennifer Egan's The Candy House. What about you~~~?
The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber & if i tire of that, i pick up a book of short stories by Jo Nesbø called The Jealousy Man

@richquaal Very nice! I've never read Jo Nesbø's short stories. Same tone as the longer work? Different cadence?
@MLClark
I've read The Bat, The Son, & The Snowman, all interesting & twisty enough to keep me reading Nesbø when i come across his work.
The first story in The Jealousy Man is a conversation between a man & woman seated next to each other on a plane. She admits to having contracted a company to assist her suicide, irrevocably. The conversation continues & the couple try to figure out a way to avoid her death and stay together.
Conversations & monologues are present in other stories too. Fun
