I'm still so intrigued by the "each person reading their own book" cuddle
@GreyingBear Not me. I prefer my cuddle partner and I be on the same page. Removes a lot of awkwardness.
@FunCartel hahahaha.
Love this! I enjoy reading books and comparing notes during a cuddle…or even reading aloud if my cuddler wishes me to
This is a great read which I'm reading now. So relevant to what we all talk about here!
@RadiantHugs I just put Together on my request list at the library. Thanks for posting. I also have a book called Platonic on my list.
@achetocuddle "Platonic" by Marissa Franco? That sounds a really fun read! I'll put it on my queue too. Next on my queue though is "The Myth of Normal" by Gabor Maté. It was also recommended to me by @HealingPartner
@RadiantHugs Yes, that Platonic:) And now the The Myth of Normal is on my list.
I'm slowly getting through "On Lisp" by Paul Graham. http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html
Trying to finally take a stab at the last two book in the Dresden Files series.
How often do you run across an actor who understands and loves their character so much that they write a whole book in-character?
I come back to this one every so often, and enjoy it a little differently every time. Garak is a sneaky, dangerous SOB... but dang if he doesn't have a whole heck of a soft side, even after everything he's been through.
In my humble opinion, he's better than James Bond.
@DaringSprinter
@zerocantaloupe: A fellow fan? Delightful! A Stitch in Time gives some very interesting backstory. Of course it's probably not entirely true (you know what Garak's like), but sometimes a person's lies tell you more about them than even the truth would; the story Garak tells in this book says some fascinating things about who he is.
@DaringSprinter Reminds me of the episode:
@zerocantaloupe: The first time I watched that episode (at 16, I believe), I said that line a second before Garak did. I didn't expect him to say it too! I laughed for a while, and my family was annoyed.
@calintz the Dresden Files are an amazing series, wish it didn't end lol.
@KamikaziNinja86: I can't bring myself to read Battle Ground. So long as I don't know how it ends, I can kid myself that it keeps going.
I am rereading The Wisdom of Life, by Arthur Schopenhauer.
I’m half way through “Future Babble: Why Expert Predictions Are Worth Next to Nothing” by Dan Gardner. An excellent read!
Yes, "Together" and the "Myth of Normal" are both amazing books. "Platonic" is on my "to read" list at the library too. Good information as I work on creating a healthy culture around me and heal myself of chronic illness. @achetocuddle @RadiantHugs
In an attempt to meet more folks & read more I joined three in-person bookclubs and one virtual. So many books! The most recent I would recommend were “Stay and Fight” by Madeline Ffitch (fiction) and “The Ten Thousand Doors of January” by Alix E. Harrow (fantasy).
And also two non-bookclub reads: “Attached: The new science of adult attachment…” by Amir Levine & Rachel S.F. Heller (non-fiction) and “HP Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu for the Beginning Reader” by R.J. Ivankovic (an historically accurate account with Dr. Suess style illustrations). 😆
the saint of steel by ursula vernon - an order of paladins go bezerk after they feel their god die - this is a year? after where a group of priest - the order of the rat take them in - the paladins are scared what they might do to themselves or others - to me it’s a great premise as we all need that nurture
I am currently on book 12 of the sci-fi series Expeditionary Force 🤓
More like 'just read' but Genesis by Chris Carter, the 12th book in the Robert Hunter series. Easily one of the best!
The Works of Henry David Thoreau.
