What are you reading?

I am reading The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing. I find the author to be a bit full of herself but damn the woman can craft a sentence. I'm about 100 pages in and find myself quite glad that this book is a little over 600 pages. I want to be able to wade in it for a while.

The Hobbit. I have read it about 7 times, but not in the last 20 years, so after watching the movie, I suddenly felt the need to revisit the tale...I started reading it yesterday, and according to Kindle, I've already finished about 75% of it. I can't put it down, and I am loving the stroll down memory road of the books of my past...I am betting this will lead to me re-reading all of James Herriot's series of books that began with "All Creatures Great and Small"...

I also loved the 'great and small' series, makes me want to re-read them too!

An Anthropologist On Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales by Oliver Sacks (I love all his books)

"...seven narratives of neurological disorder....These men, women, and one extraordinary child emerge as brilliantly adaptive personalities, whose conditions have not so much debilitated them as ushered them into another reality"
