The Precariat by Guy Standing:
(simply put,how our modern economy is impacting and effecting our society and the consquences of ie how the lack of any fairness in weath distribution is incubating and hatching a new angry class) and: The Bloody chamber by angela carter: (Collection of short stories,magical fantasy based on and around fairy tales. I'm sure angela carter had quite a big influence on jeanette winterson,i also watched company of wolves couple weeks ago so i i wanted to re read the story) “The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you’d thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.” ― Alan Bennett, The History Boys. |

I just finished Anne Rice's Prince Lestat. Its always hard to read that last chapter, when I know that my time with old friends, will end soon.

I'm still (very) slowly making my way through A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 3) by George R. R. Martin.
And I'm rereading Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen as a refresher because I just got the sequel book.

Being mortal : medicine and what matters in the end / Atul Gawande.
Modern medicine has transformed the dangers of childbirth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the face of our inevitable aging and death, what it can do often runs counter to what it should do. Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Atul Gawande reveals the suffering this has produced. He examines the profession's limitations and failures as life draws to a close. And he shows how the ultimate goal is not a good death, but a good life - until the very end.
------------------ Good but definitely not beach reading.  |

As I seem to every couple of years, I am reading Written On The Body by Jeanette Winterson. I don't often reread something, but this one calls to me from time to time. The gist of the plot is that there is a beloved and neither the name nor the gender of the protagonist suitor is ever revealed. At times the energy is decidedly female, other times male.
