Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

Still poking around in Greek Philosophy... here lately it's been Diogenes of Sinope or Diogenes the Cynic... " Have a book list for when the library reopens but for now just a little book from Henry Fielding (fiction) and some online reading about The Cynics and the Sceptics.

The Cynics – First of Four Important Schools of Philosophy
In “Cynics and Sceptics” in his History of Western Philosophy, Bertrand Russell explains that four Schools of Philosophy were founded around the time of Alexander the Great, and these were the Cynics, the Sceptics, the Stoics and the Epicureans". I expect next year I will start the Epicureans... which would complete the four for me.

Dialogue Between Alexander the Great, and Diogenes the Cynic, by Henry Fielding
 
Finishing up The Yellow Envelope and plan to start on a new book I got in the mail today: The S Word.

The author consulted me on an essay she had written (which was really terrible and racist, so I'm hoping this book is better) and sent this to me as thanks.
 
I'm leafing through and absorbing a charming and beautifully illustrated book (and set of oracle cards that came with it) I received on my born day relating to one of my favorite subjects - herbs - called The Illustrated Herbiary: Guidance and Rituals from 36 Bewitching Botanicals, by Maia Toll.
 
Flipping through the Green Smoothie Recipes to Kick-Start Your Health and Healing book written by the medical doctor, Brooke Goldner, M.D., who healed her own lupus and has helped, and still helps, a whole lotta folks heal major inflammatory dis-eases. Looking forward to trying different varieties.
 
Checked y'all read lists since Jan...

And I read everyone's except The Room and @Mee's lists. Yo @Mee, super high five on being inspirational reader and bringing books to my attention I haven't heard of yet.

And what I'm reading is articles on Lima syndrome and sooo not finding what I'm looking for.
