I'm a member of a book club and so have to read what they assign. Current selection is "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. The one before that was "Farsighted" by Steven Johnson.
I get my books these days via Audible. Currently, I’m listening to a Gray Man novel by Mark Greaney. Candy. I find them very entertaining while driving long distances for work.
I've got three going:
Reading:
The Finders by Dr. Jeffery A. Martin - a book summing up his global academic research on peeps who are spiritually "awake" - just starting this - met him at a conference and got a free book so we shall see
Ahead of All Parting: The Selected Poetry & Prose of Rainer Maria Rilke, ed/trans Stephen Mitchell - freaking love Rilke
Audio:
River of Fire, Sister Helen Prejean (autobiography by the woman who wrote Dead Man Walking) - this is a little dorky but interesting view into a nun's life... so far like spying on a midwestern women's crafting circle, but hoping it will get meatier as it proceeds.
I just got over listening to all of Jane Austen and all of Charles Dickens. I dearly adore falling asleep to a British voice reading yummy stories.
I am looking forward to reading what @littermate is writing
Awwww, @snuggleme123 .... I'd have to come out of anonymity to announce it when it's done, but that sentence just made my day.
As of 9.23.19 I'm reading:
"The Mirror Effect: How Celebrity Narcissism is Seducing America", Dr Drew Pinsky "Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority", Tom Burrell "The Poppy War", R.F. Kuang "Malice", John Gwynne "Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits", David Wong
I'm currently working my way though an entire shelf of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books.
The subtle art of not giving a fck by mark manson!
The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky
Oh and Joan of Arc, Mark Twain
Im currently reading this thread.
I’m currently re-reading A Clash of Kings, and bits from The Poetic Edda.
For non-fiction, I’ve just started We Believe the Children: A Moral Panic in the 1980s, which is about how a bunch of people thought things were Satanic and out to corrupt their children. Stuff like He-Man and Dungeons & Dragons.
You Have the Right to Remain Fat - Virgie Tovar
I read Tolstoy backwards. The first one I tackled was Peace and War.
Reading: Unshakeable by Tony Robbins A Happy Pocket Full Of Money by David Gikandi (2nd time)
Audio: As A Man Thinketh by James Allen
All of these are excellent!😄
