What are you reading? - Page 168

Bèsame* · 01-24-2022, 07:23 AM

Well, I'm quite proud of myself. I actually read 16 books in the last 6 months of last year. Most where short novels, murder mysteries and a few smutty reads.😉

I forgot I was placed on a wait list last Nov. I was number 31. I totally forgot about it. It was a nice surprise come Jan 4th. I read it, and so did my Mom and a co-worker before I had to turn it back in. It's a Reece Witherspoon book club pick.

The Last Thing He Told Me...Laura Dave

So far this year, I'm on my 3rd book.
Choose Me...Tess Gerritsen and Gary Braver

Keeps me off of social media and everyone's opinions!

Kindred, written by Octavia E. Butler, audiobook read by actress Kim Staunton, borrowed from HooplaDigital.com

Ms. Butler was a fabulous writer. She got and kept my attention from the opening sentence. And each chapter that I made it through could stand on its own. It’s the kind of book that I wanted to read slowly to be able to think about each chapter because there was so much to unpack. So very good.

But I stopped reading at chapter three because it was too traumatic for me. I don’t want any part of 1812 Antebellum Maryland. She make it too real for me. I felt the pain of others. That was her intention. I understand.

I’m still fascinated by it and bits and parts keep returning to me. I might return to the book to continue reading it, but not now.

Bag Man by Rachel Maddow and Michael Yarvitz -

It's about the downfall of Vice President Agnew.

If I'm not mistaken Rachel will spend some time on the production of this into a movie....

I'm finishing The Witching Hour by Anne Rice. It's a 50 hour audio book and, aside from the 7ish hours of biblical so-and-so begat so-and-so of the Mayfair family history, it's been enjoyable.

The Grifters

by Jim Thompson (1963).

____________________________________.

This is one of the best novels written about the art of the con game. I had no idea it was first published in 1963 but goodness sakes, even after all the ways we've seen grifting committed by T---p, this book is a must read.

There was a also a film made by Martin Scorcese & Stephen Frear based on this book, which won critical acclaim.

Medusa · 10-21-2022, 09:09 AM

I've got a pile of books going right now!

I just finished "Head Full of Ghosts" by Paul Tremblay. CREEPY.

I am also in the middle of "The Medusa Reader" and "Medusa" by David Leeming. I am doing a deep dive into the mythology of Medusa but also the proliferation of the Medusa archetype throughout movies, music, and art.

I also am making my way through "Magic for the Resistance" about incorporating your magical practices during tough political times and how to manifest political change.
