Book post plus bonus Not My Pet

The Paper Moon by Andrea Camilleri. A very good entry in the series. Lots of red herrings and some interesting introspection from Montalban.

A Hovering of Vultures by Robert Barnard. One of the earliest Charley Peace books. He's one of my favorite recurring characters and some of the others are introduced here. A great plot and a slightly fannish one, involving literary fraud and an author's fans.

Decisive by Chip and Dan Heath. The book aims at imrpoving one's decisionmaking abilities by identifying four traps to reaching good decisions. The answers they have are to widen one's options, reality-test any assumptions, attain some distance before deciding, and prepare to be wrong. I like the authors. They usually give me a different perspective.

Sister 3 is spending a few days at the beach so I'm taking care of her teacup poodle. We call her PattyPaws and she has the longest, fluffiest ears.
