@ 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'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).2 -

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:
