Kinski Uncut
 

Klaus Kinski- Memoirs. A very interesting psychological portrait of one of the world's greatest actors imo.

In Cold Blood - Truman Capote

Currently reading...
 

Majestically written....

Just starting Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. I thought I'd read it before but now I'm not sure.

I haven't started reading it just yet, because it doesn't come out until June. I pre-ordered it moments ago, because I enjoy what she writes for the most part.

Hunger - A Memoir of (My) Body
by Roxane Gay

I've been reading James McBride's autobiography (an memoir and tribute to his white Jewish mother). I bought this book a few years ago and kept it because of the many subjects of interest (poverty, accounts of inherent racism and discrimination, and the re-telling of his mother's painful life experiences, well hidden social taboos, within her own small family and how those experiences shaped her life in very painful ways...). I like how McBride alternates between things he discovered late in life about his mother to how his mother's life impacts affected his life and the lives of his siblings, which helps the reader to learn more about social impacts affecting those whose life might parallel in similar ways.

It's a very good book and may well be considered a timeless classic, over the years to come.

"Zadie Smith's dazzling first novel plays out its bounding, vibrant course in a Jamaican hair salon in North London, an Indian restaurant in Leicester Square, an Irish poolroom turned immigrant café, a liberal public school, a sleek science institute. A winning debut in every respect, White Teeth marks the arrival of a wondrously talented writer who takes on the big themes —faith, race, gender, history, and culture— and triumphs."

I read this and I loved it!

Just finished "The Cellist of Sarajevo" by Steven Galloway.

The review states;

"A novel of great intensity and power, and inspired by a true story, The Cellist of Sarajevo poignantly explores how war can change one’s definition of humanity, the effect of music on our emotional endurance, and how a romance with the rituals of daily life can itself be a form of resistance."

I very much enjoyed the book. While not a typical "feel good" novel, in the end it did leave me with a sense of hope for this world and the humans that inhabit it.

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote.

Living Apart Together: A Unique Path to Marital Happiness, or The Joy of Sharing Lives Without Sharing an Address - Anne L. Watson

EEEEKKKK!!!

I always have a couple of books going but I just finished one called "Bird Box".

A SUPER CREEPY post-apocalypse (but without the zombies) nail-biter replete with "the hair on the back of my neck just stood up" moments.

I just finished Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe and the biography Harriet Tubman by Kem Knapp Sawyer.

Thanks to this thread I read The Zookeeper's Wife last weekend and I'm now starting The Color of Water.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*uck..... by Mark Manson

I just looked that up.. looks sooooooooooo good!

Thanks to you and Katzchen, I read The Color of Water and I loved it. I gave it to my mother to read and she also loved it.

If you do decide to read it, let me know what you think! I was totally creeped out in several areas but it was super entertaining!

I have requested it at my library and will let you know how it goes. I like creepy... usually :brainsucker::|

Black Edge by Sheelah Kolhatkar

The story of the billionaire trader Steven A. Cohen, the rise and fall of his hedge fund, SAC Capital, and the largest insider trading investigation in history.

As a side note, the series Billions on Showtime is loosely based on this story of Cohen!


I also pre ordered the paperback of End Of Watch by Stephen King the final installment in the The Bill Hodges Trilogy!

That book looks like an interesting read, homoe. Awhile back, I read the non-fiction book about the billionaire recluse who started DHL -- King Larry, Which also was an very interesting read.
