The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz
This book takes on the almost impossible task of continuing the Stieg Larsson Millennium trilogy that began with the Girl in the Dragon Tattoo. Personally, I was impressed. Mr. Lagercrantz isn't exactly Larsson, but he's pretty darn close. An enjoyable and entertaining story that fits well in the Millennium series. Lisbeth Salander is such an enjoyable character, that I'm glad to read more about her. Grade: B+
Mindware: Tools for Smart Thinking by Richard E. Nisbett
This book focuses on common errors and other incorrect ways of thinking. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't memorable for me because I've read too many book and listened to too many lectures on this topic. Others might enjoy it more than me. Grade: B-
Wool by Hugh Howey
Shift by Hugh Howey
Dust by Hugh Howey
This is a series of three lengthy science fiction books (I think it was originally published as 12-15 short stories) set in a somewhat distopian future. The first is simply a story of an isolated group of people living in an underground silo. In the second book, Shift, we learn the backstory. In the third book, Dust, we learn the end. The books are detailed and contain some interesting characters. Personally, I enjoyed them, but also found them a little slow at time. Science fiction fans are likely to enjoy them. Grade: B
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
At times I struggled with this book and felt like I did not understand it. At other times, it was very interesting and moving. Grade: B
