I hope you'll write us some brief reviews if time permits. These all sound like interesting reads.

 Just started the Bryson today but always enjoy his wonderfully understated, wry style of writing. Shakespeare on Toast (non fiction) is wonderful thus far; I'm about two thirds through; It's made me laugh out loud and imparted new knowledge too...bonus! Not finished it but highly recommend to those who like language, literature, Shakespeare and theatre study. Recovery's a Bitch was not what I expected sadly mainly because I was a numpty and didn't read the Amazon synopsis, just went on the title alone. Doh! However, it's funny, hilarious in parts and I'm glad I got it...it's very much a 'dipper' though. The author is a woman who was dealing with her daughter's addictions and destructive behaviours concurrently with her own menopausal symptoms. I had been looking for info about dealing with man-o-pause in recovery Living Clean is the newly approved NA book and it's awesome! I could critique how it's written but won't, just because in this context, it wouldn't be helpful. Not finished it yet; enjoying reading it in chunks along with others at the meeting I currently chair. Everyone is loving reading/hearing it because it's not something we've already heard endlessly - although sometimes, endlessly is what it takes .gif "Say What?") The Etymologicon is another dipper; A bathroom book if you will  It is, as you might imagine, a book about where words come from. There's much more to it than that though. If you like words, etymology and language you might really enjoy this book. Not read enough to critque properly yet. |

I’m reading Travels with Herodotus.
This is Ryszard Kapuscinski’s last work, part memoir and part reflection on Herodotus' Histories, which he takes along during his travels. I like it so far. I loved Imperium. Kapuscinski’s writing follows a narrative similar to the stories told to me by my own family and their experiences in post civil war and pre-Soviet Russia. He captures the mix of beauty and starkness and what happens to regular people when empires fall and a society restructures and rebuilds. I don’t think it’s an easy dichotomy for a writer to process and retell with any balance, but he does it well. Next up is The Long Falling by Keith Ridgway. I've heard great things about it. |
