Il Gattopardo

 


My new episode of We Defy Augury, "From Sayreville to Sicily: The Effect of Setting on the Psyche," is (loosely) inspired by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's great Sicilian novel "The Leopard," but I get some help explaining the theme from Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen.

You should make a spreadsheet of your books like you are doing for Spotify so that I can find something good to read when I need a new book. I'm going on vacation in two weeks and could use an easy crime/procedural. I know you read a bunch of these but I don't know what they are.

The Birdwatcher by William Shaw, Never Tell by Lisa Gardner, The Secret Hours by Mick Herron, Dry Bones (Longmire #11) by Craig Johnson, The Getaway by Jim Thompson, Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz and all of the Horowitz . . . some of the ones I read recently-- Michael Connelly is great too
