Whatcha Reading?
Us bibliophiles want to know: what are you reading, plan to read, or didn't enjoy reading?
Here's a place to gab about literature (all kinds), share reading lists, and reviews.  Looking forward to your posts!

I just finished Profiles in Folly, History's Worst Decisions and Why They Went Wrong by Alan Axelrod
I love history, so I enjoyed it. A light look at a bunch of big messes. I am off to the library this weekend to find something new.

thank you ;)
how did i get here - chapter 1
".. i'm sure i was sociable. days were nearly always spent kicking balls, exploring the woods, digging in soil, and sometimes eating it, roaming the hills and in each other's houses..." - keith i am reading asperger syndrome- a love story, written by sarah hendricks and keith newton. the couple explain who they are as individuals, chronicle their meeting and first ill-fated relationship, followed by a painful but vital period of separation and learning to the final destination of a new, different, more satisfactory relationship together. personal accounts - embracing [humourously a lot of the time] neurodiversity!  i'm also still reading jayber crow, a novel by wendell berry. [his work with farm alliance is amazing, by the way]. this book is poetic, philosophical, and the community members/town is imagined- richly so!  i hope you are doing well, daisy - whatcha readin' ?  belle ox |

Currently I am reading:
Alchemical Psychology, Old recipes for living in a new world by Thom Cavalli; The Fisher king and the Handless Maiden; understanding The wounded feeling Function in the Masculine and Feminine in Psychology; by Robert Johnson And I am currently researching Nyx, The Goddess Night. I am preparing to tell a story to my drumming circle. We are honoring the darkness and I thought what a great way to share what the darkness has 'birthed' for us through mythology. She is an amalgamation of other creation myths so old that the only places she is still present is in the oldest of the old written myths.  Flying my geek colors....

Let's see.. I have a few books on the go:
Stitch 'n Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker (planning on learning this so I can make some gifts next year rather than buy -- including, perhaps, a his and hers Fisherman's Sweaters) A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (a lot of it seems interestingly and odd Buddhist) Blown for Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology (interesting book by one of the former Sea Org members about what Scientology was really like and how he escaped it after a lifetime in it --- over 15 years IIRC). Windows 7: The Definitive Guide (gotta get brushed up on that because it's related to a course I teach)

The book from the former Scientology member sounds intriguing. I've heard Kate Bornstein (  ) talk about her experiences in the group--but those are really the only first-hand accounts that I've encountered.

Soul Of A Dog by Jon Katz
Most recent book in a series about his life in upstate NY on his farm. Ive read a few in the series and really like them. Quick read, great stories and antics about his animals. Light reading would recommend it

Animal Magnetism by Rita Mae Brown
I just started it today and its really good for those that love animals. Its basically about all the animals she has had or been involved with over her lifetime with cute stories about each. She is involved in fox hunting as a sport(they dont kill the fox) so alot of stories about horses and dogs...light reading would recommend it
