Your books all sound good. I read Feed in print years ago, but you've just about sold me on the audiobook, if I can get it for free on Libby. Currently I am listening to The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store (for free on Libby). It's...whimsical? I don't know why it's so popular.
My classic lit book club selected Dr. Zhivago for this month, and I tried, I really did, but I couldn't even finish the first chapter. I'm all for a narrative being non-linear; this, however, was impossible for me to comprehend. It seemed like dozens of plots that barely intersected were introduced in rapid succession and soon I was thoroughly confused as to who everyone was, how they were related (either by blood or just did they live in same village or work together or what), etc. And then I thought: hey, I don't have to read this, this is not English Major School, I can just change my RSVP to Not Going and get on with my life. So I did that. Last week I reread a novel I'd liked the first time, December by Elizabeth Hartley Winthrop. I liked it, again.
I'm also still in the middle of reading Fluke, but library books on hold keep popping up and I want to finish those, so Fluke continues to be Partially Read even though I like it a lot. And I'm not done listening to Breathless: The Scientific Race to Defeat a Deadly Virus, which I am also thoroughly enjoying.
Life really is so many books, so little time, right?
