What are you reading?

I'm reading Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It came out in 2006- I'd never heard of it, but it's come up a few times lately so I'm taking that as a cosmic nudge.

Just started it, but so far so good. It focuses on Lincoln's gift for turning his political opponents into allies by making the message more important than the ego.

"Incarnate" by Jodi Meadows. (a trilogy....NEWSOUL, NOSOUL, HEART)

NEWSOUL
Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why.

"Sensual Reading; New Approaches to Reading in its Relations to the Senses."
Edited by Micaehl Syrotinski and Ian Maclachlan

Sensual Reading is a collection of essays that attempts to rearticulate the relationship between reading and the different senses as a way of moving beyond increasingly homogenized discourses of the ‘‘body’’ and the ‘‘subject.’’ Contributions engage with the individual senses, with the themes of sensory richness and sensory deprivation, and with the notion of ‘‘telesensuality.’’
