Reading in Progress
I tend to have a few books going at the same time. This page is just what I'm reading right now.

Vigil
A man on his deathbed must confront what he has wrought while angels argue about what happens to him next.
Helen of Nowhere
A disgraced professor wants a simpler, more ‘natural’ life and can’t quite see how much of that desire is built on top of other people. Written from four perspectives: Man, Realtor, Helen, Wife. Funny and ruthless so far - a look at what ‘good living’ actually costs.
The Atavists
An atavist is someone (or something) that reverts to earlier, more primitive traits, biologically, psychologically, or socially, a kind of regression where instincts resurface and old patterns break through the veneer of modern life (I looked it up!). Its the idea that civilization is thin and the animal, ancestral self is never that far away. This is a book of short stories about people having these experiences.
Cape Fever
In 1920s South Africa a maid takes a job with an eccentric woman and strange letter writing campaigns ensue?
