      I'd be lying if I said I wasn't learning something.

      For the umpteenth time I’m listening to “The subtle art of not giving a f@uck”.

      "The sun has not fallen from the sky; Nor has the moon ceased from her seasons. The winds have not folded themselves up forever; nor have the clouds forgotten the chart of their arial roads. The sea-tides have not faltered in their alternations. The dews of our evenings are not less healing than they were when Judas hanged himself, or when Achilles trailed Hector at the heel of his chariot."

      Whole novels seem to be a problem for me so I’ve resorted to short stories. 😊

      I just finished 2 by Khaled Hossieni: "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns". I highly recommend them, but read them with a box of Kleenex - oh, so sad. :( But so well written. They're about children in Afghanistan.

      Now I'm reading "State Of Fear" by the late, great Michael Crichton. It's about climate change and some of the propaganda surrounding it. It's not an easy read because he backs up his statements with facts in footnotes that you can't possibly avoid reading if you want to understand what some of the brainiac characters are saying. I'm learning a lot!

      My daughter just purchased a book for me titled Catacombs by Mary Anna Evans. I'm hoping to start this tomorrow and finish it over the weekend.

      I'm about half way thru it... enjoying it so far. Nothing earth shattering, but a lot of context and nuance that I hadn't really thought about before.

      I have been on a Gaiman kick for a few years now. He tells a really good story and is pretty clever with words.

      This is only the 2nd book that I have read from him and I plan on reading more. I agree with you, very good with words. I really like his style, very captivating.

      I'm reading An Edible History of Humanity. It's an archaeological and anthropological look into how basically the entirety of human society has been shaped by food, farming, food availability etc. It's really interesting and informative and not overly formal so it's a really accessible read. I highly recommend it.
