What are you reading?

Nonfiction:

Bluets by Maggie Nelson. I finished it a month ago and it's still bouncing around in my head. Highly recommended.

Party Out of Bounds: The B-52s, R.E.M., and the Kids who Rocked Athens, Georgia by Rodger Lyle Brown. Almost done with it. Fun read, lots of "oh yeah!" moments, since I was doing some of my own rocking in Athens during that time period.

Fiction:

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. Good, but getting kind of bored with it. Pushing through.

I just finished (this morning) Narcissus in Chains by Laurell K. Hamilton (the 10th book in the Anita Blake series) Amazing/Hot series. Thank you SS for getting me into the series

Next book in line is The Vison by Dean R. Koontz

I am reading The Foremost Good Fortune by Susan Conley, a memoir about the author and her family living in Beijing. It took 8 months to get it from the library, which would suggest that a lot of people really loved it. In actuality, it probably means that it took people FOREVER to finish the damn thing because the author writes in short, dull sentences, and is relentlessly whiny while her husband and two young sons seemed to be having the time of their lives...

Oh, and eventually, she gets cancer, but I'm not there yet.

I have required reading; "Memories Dreams Reflections" the autobiography of Jung. It is DRIVING ME CRAZY. As some of you know I love Jung, his ideas, his brilliance... but OMG... I think I have been so far and so long off the God path that his ruminations on grace and god and trinity et al are too much for this little fox.

Ahhh well it must be read...

Finished reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and immediately downloaded Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, thanks to the posts on this thread.

So far so good!

Max Brooks wrote one of the best. Being made into a movie with Brad Pitt. Looking forward to it! If you have any interest in the genre, I can tell you some other very well-written ones!

Changing gears right now, reading the new Steve Jobs bio. He was such a genius, fascinatingly complex man.
