1683 - "Some hearts are true."
Reading post!
I haven't made one of these in a while. Mostly because it seems that I've been reading so damn slow all the time.
So, it seems like it's Harry Potter and autobiography season. I've been rereading the Harry Potter book because I've been finally actually watching the movies and I figured since I have a proven ability to read any one of the HP books within 24 hours, I might as well.
My at-work book of the moment is Vol. 1 of Emma Goldman's Living my life which I am finding interesting but definitely sensationalized and not really all that challenging at the moment. I should be done this at the end of the week and I think that I might go read something else instead of continuing on to Vol. 2 immediately. I've got a lot of ideas for what's next; either some theology (Aquinas, Lewis), or maybe Nietzsche or maybe an Aldus Huxley book on weird cults I saw, or perhaps some Kafka. All stuff I've been meaning to read for a while.
My at-work reading seems kind of... snobby. It's not on purpose really, mostly because I am limiting myself to things I "should" read that I also want to read that are also in the collection here.
On a side note, I think I might suggest that we get in some Palahinuk into the collection since we have none and that seems strange to me.
My transit reading is supposed to be that Sherri S. Tepper book that Steph lent me. I feel really guilty about it because I really do want to read it, but a hold came in for me at VPL and in order to not incur fines, I'm reading it first. The book is Assata Shakur's autobiography which I am thoroughly enjoying. She's got an easy-flowing writing style which makes it go fast, but not hurried and makes the occasional insertion of court documents into the narrative rather jarring in their lack of flow.
You died.
I cried.
And kept getting up.
A little slower.
And a lot more deadly.
