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

I am mistaken. It is from the 1840s, so it is interesting. I am a believer in vaccines.

I'm reading The Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, and listening to The Stand yet again. I sleep better listening to books for some reason. I chose books I've read before, so I don't mind if I miss some stuff.
 
I still haven't read it to be able to accurately comment on it, @DharmaGirl , mostly thanks to water gushing into the basement these last few days. Oh joy! lol

I used to wholeheartedly believe in them, too, just as I was told/taught to do, until each and every one I received as a state employee for over 13 years made me very ill, creating even more issues than I was already dealing with physically. It took a while to connect the dots, though, as with most all of my other biological discoveries of cell-ph.

My body apparently rejected (I guess that's the right term to choose) them for a damn good reason, but I was repeatedly told by all of the medical professionals that there's absolutely no way ANY vaccine could be making me sick. Ummm....I beg to differ after my direct experiences for over a decade, but no one would listen nor take me seriously. (now there's a theme that seems to never end)

I haven't conducted further research on myself as I was no longer willing to be a guinea pig and invite even more dis-ease into my body once I resigned and they were no longer mandatory in my life. My doctor fully supports that decision. I may have to endure them at some point again before I leave this existence, but it likely won't be willingly.

Been revisiting the audio book by Pema Chodron as of late while cleaning and delivering food and such.....titled, Making Friends With Yourself. I could benefit from listening to that each day.
 
I don't read anymore sadly but I don't mind, because I don't have to accumulate books. What I do, which became a shared activity with my wife, is we listen to audio books. We do this to fall asleep/lie awake depending. The right ones are so soothing. When you get up at night you get back in bed, press play and you go out before you know it. One of my favorites is Sandburgs "Lincoln, the prairie years and the war years." We have become history buffs, and you'd be amazed what you absorb after years of sleeping through most of it. We just found a new author we like who has written plenty of books to keep us busy awhile, Simon Winchester. The first one we listened to "The men who united America" was great.
 
Reading my own stuff from an old journal back in 2008 that I found in the basement today. Wow. I was so full of anger and rage and total confusion as I was wearing myself down into one hell of a deep ditch...and it just got deeper the more professional help I got. I'm thinking it's a good time for a moonlit fire pit ceremony to release some of those old energies.
 
I'm reading A Meeting at Corvallis, by SM Stirling. It is a long series of more than 15 books. I'm rereading it. It will keep me busy for awhile. It is violent, but then it has characters I really like. I'm liking it less this time around, since it really is too full of unnecessary violence. But I can see where that would appeal to an entirely different audience so he really ropes in a lot of people. The story is good too.
