No science fiction this month and only two literary novels, but some bumper crime novels and fascinating nonfiction books:
- Paul Veyne’s Seneca: The Life of a Stoic – more from the Destination category of Undistraction
- Jonathan Littell’s The Kindly Ones – no, I couldn’t make myself start this in May, but June is the go
- The Renegades by T. Jefferson Parker – by one of my faves, this just arrived from America in hardback
- Michael S. Gazzaniga’s Human: The Science Behind What Makes Us Unique
- The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery – sounds refined, different and fascinating
- Eric Maisel’s The Atheist’s Way: Living Well Without Gods – I’ve been waiting for this book’s publication for over a year
- The Secret Speech by Tom Rob Smith – if this thriller, set in post-Stalin Russia, is as good as his first, it will consume a night of reading
- Inside the Gas Chambers by Shlomo Venezia
- Josh Bazell’s Beat the Reaper
- Mark Vernon’s Wellbeing – some reflective philosophy about happiness and the like
