Oooooo. I didn't know there were books. I got into the tv show this summer. Cool.

School is back in session, and all pretense of reading anything even slightly demanding is gone.

Back to comfort food literature.

Currently, The Hounds of the Morrigan by Pat O'Shea.

It may be a bad sign that I am already reading children's literature.

I am very grateful for this forum thread and for all the people who share their reading materials here.

*Thank You*

I'm still working with all the recent materials I have listed and as well, I have been participating more in our community here. Thank You to members here who share about things in their life and your mindset too.

I learn so much from all of you and feel less lonely in life because of your efforts in our community.

Somebody in here, and I can't for the life of me find that post again, recommended a book by Pema Chondron (a buddhist teacher). It must have been the right time for me to see that, I am now reading a second book by her; "Taking the Leap" and enjoying it.

I am also having a re-read of Dr Joel Fuhrmans two book set, "Eat for Health". It stresses a high micronutrient approach to eating.

Getting back on track would seem to be a theme this month.

Top o' the morning all....Let's see what I'm reading...Well I have a crap load of text books...A History of Russia....Astronomy....Literature 102...Foundations of Education...But for enjoyment, I am reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King (turning out to be one of his best ever) and Rachel Maddow's Drift...Both are amazingly good books and so very different that I feel like I'm Bi-Polar when I switch between them...

Just finished the Hunger Games trilogy. Wish I'd never bothered!

Just started 600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster
and The Tudor Housewife (non fiction) by Alison Sim

Oh and the first in the Inspector Rebus series by Ian Rankin.

100 EXTRAORDINARY STORIES ABOUT ORDINARY THINGS SIGNIFICANT OBJECTS: A Literary and Economic Experiment
Can a great story transform a worthless trinket into a significant object? The Significant Objects project set out to answer that question once and for all, by recruiting a highly impressive crew of creative writers to invent stories about an unimpressive menagerie of items rescued from thrift stores and yard sales.
That secondhand flotsam definitely becomes more valuable: sold on eBay, objects originally picked up for a buck or so sold for thousands of dollars in total — making the project a sensation in the literary blogosphere along the way.
But something else happened, too: The stories created were astonishing, a cavalcade of surprising responses to the challenge of manufacturing significance. Who would have believed that random junk could inspire so much imagination?

finished living in liberation by cristien storm and the road to assisi by paul sabatier. both were amazing. now reading the reluctant saint, another book about st. francis - it's iffy so far. the author tries to remove all the legendary hagiography stuff which i appreciate to some degree, but the writing makes me cringe.
