Well, I ended up taking a break from sports stories this week so that I could read a novel, this time one of Jeffery Deaver's thrillers, The Bodies Left Behind. (I must confess I got it from the library instead of my book collection.) The book is one long chase scene, and since Deaver is a master of suspense, it was a gripping story. I kept waiting for the twist he always provides, but it didn't arrive until nearly the end, which was great, because it was totally unexpected! I recommend it highly.
Following that book, I launched into Stephen King's recently published tome (aren't they all?), 11/22/63. It's a time travel story in which the protagonist goes back in time to try to stop JFK's assassination. That's all I know so far, but it looks like the story will unfold slowly, since it's 849 pages long!
After this, I will probably go back to non-fiction for a while. In fact, if the King novel gets slow, I may take a break from it and declare magazine week next week. We'll see what happens. I'm feeling whimsical!
