Excellent! Thanks. I’ve been on a fantasy kick lately. I did read all of the Mistborn books a couple of years ago and loved them. Lately I’ve been reading Seanan McGuire (several different series, each with a different world-building premise) and Bill Schweigart (a bit Stephen King-ish, with mythological creatures come to life in modern day America). I also recently tried to read the climate-change-focused novel “Ministry for the Future” by Kim Stanley Robinson, a favorite sci-fi writer, but just couldn’t get past the horrifically depressing opening chapter. His classic Mars trilogy is well worth picking up if you haven’t read it, however (Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars).
I really need to check out Traffic. It sounds like the follow-up to This Town that DC really needed.
What am I reading? Well I'm finishing up Power Players! I've really enjoyed it, especially all the fun facts I did not know and I think you do a good job of using sports to humanize our commanders in chief.
Chris, I too loved The Passage trilogy. I notice that didn’t say you liked The Ferryman, just that it was wild. Did you enjoy reading it?
I LOVED it.

Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham. The documentary “Chernobyl” inspired me to read this book!!!
The Passage trilogy was INCREDIBLE

I love reading Brandon Sanderson too. I have just read his more SciFi-oriented Skyward series, also well worth a visit.
anything by David Grann!!!
