    @ itchmyTwitch I'm glad I never had to read it for school! This book is just a few of his essays and translated where I can understand it somewhat. It is a really short book! 114 pages 😅
    (I've really enjoyed all the Penguin Great Ideas books I've read. ****)

    Yes! I always enjoy books more when they're not obligatory. You're inspiring me

    On Audible I’m working through Wuthering Heights.

    On my Kindle I’m reading Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution by Mike Duncan

    Have just purchased a paperback copy of The Care Manifesto: The Politics of Interdependence and am going to read it soon

    I'm reading an anthology called Fantastic Hope edited by Laurel Hamilton and William McCaskey. Some of the stories are pretty good, some are meh. I was happy to see one (each) from Sharon Shinn, Patricia Briggs and L. E. Modesitt, Jr. I was surprised that I didn't hate the one by Larry Correia (I generally don't appreciate his stuff much).

    What I've recently (last two weeks) read: Laurel Hamilton's Smoulder (meh) and A Terrible Fall of Angels (interesting, promising, hoping she doesn't screw it up).
    Innate Magic by Shannon Fay, which was interesting.
    Inheritance by Nora Roberts; no satifactory closure, first in a trilogy. She usually does better than that. But...to be fair...It is a pretty good ghost story. If you like ghost stories (which I do).
    Dirty Thirty by Janet Evanovich; meh, more of the same but might (maybe) finish some long running threads. I hesitate to call them plot threads...
    The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella; good read (beach book?) and I think worth reading.

    I'm also halfway through Nora Robert's Weather the Storm, which is a reprint omnibus containing The Welcoming and Without a Trace...a couple of her old novels. Finished the first, a third of the way through the second. They're not bad but not great--this was a point in time between her bad, sappy romances and the beginning of her decent work where she thought she might want to be like early Tami Hoag (suspense-thriller-I hate you but must have you romances).

    I am not a math person, but I love the Simpsons and I like to flex a different part of my brain, so I am reading this on someone's suggestion:

    It's a bit complex in parts, but a lot of fun. Chapters are pretty short so it is manageable.

    I am also reading something lighter - not a complex book but a good semi-thriller that is entertaining:

    Also listening to Rich Dad / Poor Dad audiobook on Spotify - that should be a mandatory read for high school students imo
