On Desperate Ground: This is the true story, told in startling detail of, of a Marine division trapped in the winter snow and surrounded by Chinese soldiers during the Korean War. I'm not a reader of war chronicles, but it was listed as one of the best books of 2018 so I downloaded it on my Kindle, and it was riveting and inspiring.
The Liar's Wife: It was listed on Amazon as a taut psychological thriller, but it was a poorly written book that tries to trick the reader until the Great Reveal at the end. Not sure why I finished it. Don't waste your time.
The Stranger in the Woods: Another non-fiction book. Can you imagine a man living in the Maine woods for 27 years with no human contact at all except one brief moment when he encountered some hikers and managed a brief "hello." How he was found and what happened next are fascinating. Did the author exploit him? Read and see what you think.
