Vacation reading!

I am putting together my vacation reading list. I need some recommendations! Here is what's in my pile already: 

--This is a good start, but I need something I wouldn't consider.

I read a great book.

Outside Los Angeles, a driver pulls up to find a young woman sitting on a large black box. She offers him $200,000 cash to transport her and that box across the country, to Washington, DC.

But there are rules:

• He cannot look inside the box.
• He cannot ask questions.
• He cannot tell anyone.
• They must leave immediately.
• He must leave all trackable devices behind.

As these eccentric misfits hit the road, rumors spread on social media that the box is part of a carefully orchestrated terror attack intended to plunge the USA into civil war.

The truth promises to be even stranger, and may change how you see the world.

--Original plot, great characters, great commentary on today's world.

Northern Exposure

 I am currently watching Season 5 of Northern Exposure. That was a great show. Excellent writing. Episode 5 even has Jack Black as a High School Senior!  

--All six seasons can be screened on Amazon Prime.
