Jill Soloway's book which just came out, She Wants It. Is the first time I read "my story" about being nonbinary genderqueer in a way that really gripped me. I am not talking about her fame or her trans parent or the show. I am talking about her evolution to a butch identity and feeling not male or not female.

Murakami
"Killing Commendatore" by my favorite author Haruki Murakami...his latest came out in Oct 2018 is 700pgs if that means anything to you...it is a book to be read slowly...it is one to savor in this Winter...and it's just what I'm doing...date a girl who reads? oh yes, and love a girl who enjoys reading Murakami...smiling ...terrific surreal...magical realism...if you enjoy these you'll enjoy this novel. It's interesting that Murakami writes his novels in Japanese his native language and then they are translated into other several languages. I sometimes want to learn Japanese to understand what may be missing from the English translations...better yet I will begin reading these in my native language...now that would be interesting... good reading, Greco |
I finished Elaine Pagels' Why Religion? about a week ago. It's the memoir of a professor of religious studies. I had read a couple of her books back in the day, so I thought I'd try it. It was good. A lot about grief.
Now, Sigrid Nunez's The Friend |
With ears: The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish.
With eyes: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Not a fan of Love in the Time of Cholera. The author should not have attempted to write the interior sexuality of ANY women, and the treatment of the black women is gross. It's for book club though so i will press on. I guess the Tiffany Haddish book provides some balance at least. |
The Terror Dream by Susan Faludi. Remember Backlash? The saga continues.
Economics by Ha-Joon Chang. Fun book for a stuffy subject. Or I just love economics and will read anything about it. |
I just finished "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens. I loved this book and highly recommend it.

I read a book called Winston's War after reading a book about the SAS, so I took a break from war and read a couple of Elizabeth Peters mysteries. They were kinda racist, I thought. Now I am reading The Push, which is a memoir by Tommy Caldwell, a famous rock climber. It's very good.

"Killing Commendatore" was an intense and satisfying read. If you enjoy going down mysterious, supernatural "rabbit holes" than this Murakami novel is excellent. Reading "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport non-fiction and gives much, much "food for thought". Greco Quote:

Reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and listening to Bad Blood, by John Carreyrou. Both for one book club, need to also be reading Longitude, by Dava Sobel, for the other book club.

I love Dava Sobel. Loved Galileo's Daughter and the book about Copernicus. I am looking forward to reading the most recent one although I might not get to it for a little while. I wish someone would publish a collection of her best articles.

Heading to the library today to browse, pick up something non-fiction. Which reminds me – Oh crap, I've got to get ready! J will be here in less than half an hour and I'm the one who woke her up saying – Hurry, hurry, lets go!
