Reading several right now:
Angle of Repose - fantastic book by Wallace Stegner. Great blend of past and present (1970) as seen by a wheelchair-bound historian, researching his grandparents' roots.
A Disturbance of Fate - a richly realized book of Alternate History, exploring many of the "What Ifs" that would arise in discussing an America in which Bobby Kennedy was NOT assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan in 1968.
also, re-reading Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I go back and forth whether I prefer this one or The Great Gatsby. Both are awe-inspiring. Enjoying it for the third time. First read it way back in high school in 1985.
