"Republic lost" by Lawrence Lessig

femmedyke · 04-09-2012, 03:15 PM

Halfway through "Under The Never Sky" by Veronica Rossi and loving it! (thanks for the recommendation!)

I like reading a lot, but am immensely into this dystopic/sci-fi fiction right now. Any other recommendations? I've read AngelFall by Susan Ee and Divergent, both excitingly different and excellent. Please, recommend away!

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, almost done... great book so far. It really is funny how we all deal with the trauma that happens in our lives.
Next up.. 50 Shades of Grey... E.L. James, what I have read is rather HOT...

but neither were so engaging that there is danger of missing your stop

The Buddha in the Attic, by Julie Otsuka

The only word to describe this book is “exquisite”.
It’s a beautifully written (almost poetic, mostly haunting) narrative of Japanese “picture brides” in California during the 1920s. Rather than being told from one character’s perspective (or even several) it’s written in a collective voice, unusual and deeply effective. It’s a short book (only 129 pages) best read slowly in order to savor one word at a time.

I'm reading two different series, The Noble Dead series by Barb and JC Hendee, book 6. The Change series by SM Stirling book 5. Both are very good fantasy series.

Real books not on my Kindle. I know that will please some out there, but I can't enlarge the font. Bummer.

Half Broke Horses - Jeannette Walls

Wasnt sure I would like it but it is an amazing autobiographical novel of a woman who paved her unique way in the world back in the early 1900's. Her philosophy, fortitude, perserverence, independence.... my kind of role model.
