Excellent essay. My reading tastes have changed, too. There are some writers whose books will be read by me if I am able to find them in the local library. I will admit, if I don't care for a book, I will stop reading it, if only because time marches on. Dystopian books are fear-causing to me because the reign of 47 has made many of the books I have read on that subject are all too real. I am glad there are books on Kindle, etc., that one can listen to. That can make a long journey seem less tiring, and certainly more interesting. May I suggest to you Carl Hiaasen? He has written a number of funny, yet thought provoking books that in between the laughter, send the reader a powerful message about the need to protect the fragile ecology of the Florida coast. I don't know if you added James Lee Burke's pantheon of books to your list, but they are fantastic.

Ian and I watched Bad Monkey on Apple TV and enjoyed it. The Dave Robicheaux series looks like my kind of stuff! Thanks, Ann.
Hello, dear friend! OK, I'll add both authors to my audible and see what comes up. Thank you so much for reading my stuff. I've got more coming.
