Shriver's latest novel. This one is an "alternative history" of the last 10 years, where a Mental Parity mania takes over the country that denies that there are any intelligence differences between people. Naturally bad things result. Not her best novel.

Return of the strong Gods by R.R. Reno
Excellent analysis of the cultural, political and religious situation of the West since WW2. The strong gods are things like God, family and nation.

Storm Watch by C.J. Box
Another entry in the Joe Pickett series. The stories have gotten somewhat formulaic, but it's a pretty good formula. Box also weaves timely topics into his stories, in this case Game Warden Pickett gets involved with Bitcoin miners. Go figure.

Bad Therapy by Abigail Shrier
Excellent analysis of the manner in which psychological treatment has spread across the culture with not always good results, especially for children. Shrier's theme is "iatrogenesis", which basically means that the cure is worse than the disease.

Fatherless America by David Blankenhorn
Re-read of a classic. Written in the 1990s, prophetic of the social dysfunction we are experiencing today.

The Gray Ghost Murders by Keith McCafferty
I know I read this years ago but it's not on this blog. I've read all the Sean Stranahan stories, and they are all good.
