I also just finished the memoir Educated by Tara Westover which was fascinating, heartbreaking, infuriating (I swear to god my blood pressure spiked) and frustrating. Crazytown.
i agree on Educated - it was a very difficult book to read - i had to read another book at the same time! my daughter read it also and said the same thing. but an important read - for sure0 -
Farewell to the sea by the Cuban dissident writer Reinaldo Arenas. i'm struggling through this as it's stream of consciousness writing, which is not my preference. i'm not a quitter when it comes to reading so i'll attempt to continue it...

When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger (1986!!)
Not too far in...reminds me sort of a cross between Emma Bull's Bone Dance, Stephan Barnes' Firedance and Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon (brain modification bits)...0 -
William Gibson - Neuromancer (again)0

You might check out Crucial Conversations and Crucial Accountability published by Vital Smarts (there are four or five authors)--they're not about parenting so much as communication skills (important for parenting, coparenting, adulting & generally humaning. . .0 -
The Library Book by Susan Orlean0

Streetlethal by Stephan Barnes (the book I was actually thinking of in my last post...Firedance is the third book...there are three!)
AND
Diamond Fire by Ilona Andrews
I realized today that somewhere, in my head, I have decided it is apocolypse reading season. The last book I read (When Gravity Fails]) is post-apocalypse. Streetlethal and its two sequels are post apocalypse...A while back, I read A Few Good Men by Sarah A Hoyt, a terrible book...and post-apocalypse. Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series is post-apocalypse and the Hidden Legacy is a warding off apocalypse story line. And I'm likely to pick up Bone Dance (also post-apocalypse!) when I'm done with what I'm on now...Who knew I was so into apocalypse books!?!
It's apocalypse season, guys!1 -
The How of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky.
It's about how to become a happier person using techniques that have been researched and proven to work by Positive Psychology. I'm working through the exercises.1 -
Currently reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I only regret that I didn't read it earlier, what an amazing book!0
