The life of an ordinary American, Frank Bascombe, living an ordinary life. It was interesting but not gripping and I am not sure how quickly I will return to the other books in this series. 6/10

The Origins of Totalitarianism
By Hannah Arendt
I worked through this as an audiobook which was not the best format in which to read this book. Having said that the book, which is now over 50 years old was fascinating. A lot of her analysis still holds true despite subsequent shifts in power. Definitely a good -but dense-read 7/10

Suspended Sentences
by Patrick Modiano
This is a book of 3 short novellas whose link is Paris and looking back. This is writing for the soul. Nothing great happens and yet the writing is beautiful and a credit o the translator. This has to be near the top of my favorites list for this year 9/10
