I read the preface and her writing seems kinda flowery. I don't mind that fro
The great poets...but with biographies, I prefer some straight shooting...so I may not stick with it..time.will.tell

I've just started to reread the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen Donaldson again, I finally managed to get all of the books he has, three sets of three, with one more to come. I'm also reading some Alice Borchardt novels, based around the fall of the Roman empire about a young woman who is also a wolf, for those who have never heard of her, she was Anne Rice's older sister. I much prefer Alice to Anne. I am also reading Russell Brands book Revolution too.

"Black Mass" by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neil

I have just begun this book called Judy.
Its about a dog that was a POW during the time of the japanese consentration camps.
I found it purely by accident in a discount bookshop.
I thought it sounded really good.
So I came home, looked at the reviews on amazon, and everyone loved the book.
And here I am reading it.
The first part gets you insight into how the authors research went to write the book.
Then you get into the story.
And now I have to say I can't put it down.
So far its wonderful.
Will let you know more later

I just finished Cinnamon and Gunpowder, by Eli Brown. Who can resist a story with a bad ass female pirate, who is the captain of her own ship? Not me! A great novel for your summer reading.

Now I'm into A Cultural History of the Grateful Dead, a fascinating look at the band as well as, the beat scene, the summer of love, and the psychedelic movement here in San Francisco.

Journal articles about Positive Psychology. Paper due at the end of the week.

Also reading DSM5 diagnoses to formulate my paper for my directed study course.

Comic books have been at the top of my list lately. I've been enjoying Marvel's Secret Wars arc. And the new(ish) female Thor.

I'm also reading Star Wars: Heir To The Jedi.
