Reading in Retirement: Some Favorite Fiction - Page 4

Since I retired from teaching 3 years ago (and no longer have to read curriculum standards, interminable term papers, and excruciating essays), I've rediscovered reading for pleasure (and listening; Audiobooks are a godsend in that I can read while working out, driving, mowing the lawn, etc.). Here are a dozen dozens of fiction books I have read or reread in my retirement and that I thoroughly enjoyed . I also read a lot of non-fiction and drama, but those areas will have their own lists. If I ever get around to it, that is.
