- This show on Showtime called Ray Donovan. It's starring Liev Schreiber as Ray Donovan. He's electric. Jon Voight is Mickey Donovan, Ray's father. Between the story line and the Boston accents, it's just irresistible.
- Orange is The New Black. If you don't have Netflix, this show is the reason to get it. Period.
- The Shining Girls: A Novel - by Lauren Beukes. It's about a serial killer that can travel through time, killing women in different decades, and the one victim that survives and tracks him down.
- Steve Jobs by Walter Issacson. It's a peek behind the wizard's curtain - the good, the bad, the assholish, the genius.
- Serena (P.S.) by Ron Rash. Here's the Amazon description: The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton travel from Boston to the North Carolina mountains where they plan to create a timber empire. Although George has already lived in the camp long enough to father an illegitimate child, Serena is new to the mountains--but she soon shows herself to be the equal of any man, overseeing crews, hunting rattle-snakes, even saving her husband's life in the wilderness. Together this lord and lady of the woodlands ruthlessly kill or vanquish all who fall out of favor. Yet when Serena learns that she will never bear a child, she sets out to murder the son George fathered without her. Mother and child begin a struggle for their lives, and when Serena suspects George is protecting his illegitimate family, the Pembertons' intense, passionate marriage starts to unravel as the story moves toward its shocking reckoning. My comment: Serena's a bad-ass and a cold piece.
