What are you reading July 2017
Re: What are you reading July 2017
The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict an HF about Albert Einstein's first wife Mileva Marić. We DVRed the recent excellent series Genius about Albert Einstein on the National Geographic channel. Geoffrey Rush played the adult Einstein and is nominated for an Emmy. Mileva was at university with Einstein studying physics and mathematics, a great feat considering women did not attend university at that time. She could have been a great scientist but... I had no idea Einstein was such a jerk towards women! I just happened upon this novel on sale at Amazon for $1.99

Just started Raiders of the Nile by Steven Saylor.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

it's different to Anne Tyler's normal books. It's an easy, light read. Quite amusing, too.Susan wrote:I've got this on hold at eLibraryNJ, but there are five people ahead of me.Vanessa wrote:Just about to start Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler, a retelling of the Taming of the Shrew.
I'm just about to start The Jeweller's Wife by Judith Lennox, a family saga beginning in the 1930s.
