So what Are You Reading? ~ I Just started a book called "The Four Agreements": A Practical Guide To Personal Freedom, By Don Miguel Ruiz ( Awesome book) I highly recommend it for these hard times It's the second time I've read and it's an easy read. ~I'm also reading a book called, "Lust & Wonder", By Augusten Burroughs. He is one of my favorite authors. ~So what are you reading???  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

ali I am reading "Contagion" - about how things spread! It is very interesting I will NOT be reading any books about Trump! The Newspapers are enough of a nightmare!!   xx"Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

I read Running with Scissors back when it was first published and what a bizarre trip that was. I recall Dr Finch's family started a lawsuit after he died...for defamation, I think. I don't remember what came of it. I'm currently reading Soul Kitchen by Poppy Z. Brite "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

Cross to Bear - Greg Allman "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

Vonnegut, Cat's Cradle "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

"The Last Disciple"......by Jamie Holmes. Jamie is a local newscaster and this book is so not like his personality.....he's upbeat, fast with a quip or joke. This book is very relevant for this time and the experiences we are all having. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

I have The Four Agreements on the table next to my reading chair. I pull it out every once in a while and read it because I was once called "impeccable" by the girl who gave it to me years ago. I'm not, but reading it reminds my to try to be. I just finished reading Sapiens, a Brief History of Humankind by Israeli PhD Yuval Noah Harari, another gift, this time from my son. It provides a lot of insight into all the things we think we know, but really don't. Like the difference between things and concepts, why humans came to be the dominant species and what has happened as a consequence. Very informative for all those blogging here about politics. A shame they'll never read it. Even more important for those who seek to understand how we came to be what we are, and perhaps where we are going. It's published in over 50 languages. I agree with the endorsement from Bill Gates "you'll have a hard time putting it down". Harari makes a lot of difficult stuff fun and engaging It's amazing what archeologists can figure out. Otherwise I'm reading a lot of erotic schlock.  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

I'm reading the unabridged version of Moby Dick. It's awesome. What I'm reading in non fiction most people wouldn't be interested in. Python and SQL. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

That sounds like a good beach read. I'll have to check it out, thanks for sharing. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

On audio i'm currently listening to Woody Allen's memoirs, Apropos of Nothing. Yes i know, it's a strange choice considering but after reading the reviews saying he damns himself i wanted to read/listen for myself. I'm also reading Chris Carter's Hunting Evil ... i do love a good serial killer book !
