Tuesday book notes

I've been immersed in a DVD series of lectures on the history of the New Testament, so not as much reading as usual.

Only new book I have read this week was Dead in the Family, by Charlaine Harris.

If it's possible for printed media to "jump the shark," then I believe Ms Harris took that leap with the volume that preceded this, Dead and Gone.

No spoilers here. Just it's no longer as witty and insightful as it had been. I don't even like Sookie as much as I used to. Just too many horrible things happening out of pure meanness and spite.

And I get all the meanness and spite I can handle IRL.
