July 2024: What are you reading?

Happy Canada Day, Happy 4th! What 1001 books are you reading to start the second half of the year?

I've started The Radiant Way and have plans to read a few longer works when on vacation next week, maybe Life: A User's Manual or Rob Roy or Testament of Youth.

I finished The Double by Jose Saramago. Next up will be The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner.

I am stuck on Tristram Shandy, which I thought I had read decades ago but now I'm not so sure. Although I see how it could kind of escape your memory, since it's made up of strange humorous bits that don't cohere into what we think of as a plot. It really is very funny, but a struggle.
