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

[Lionheart]

I just picked up my copy of "The Art of Psychic Reiki" once again.

I'm reading a YA series called Middle Falls Time Travel series. It has people reliving their lives until they get it right. It gives me peace.

Tap Dancing in Zen, by Geri Larkin

Zen Golf and Zen Putting. Like one of my favorite quotes says "it all depends how we look at things, not how they are in themselves" Carl Jung.

Sometimes gotta get your head in the right place......

I don't really know that we've ever had a thread (not that I recall) for reading. So, for any readers - what are you reading right now? Fiction, non-fiction... if it's a book let's share?

I like to work my way through authors here lately and am doing Mark Haddon (after reading his novel "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time") and am on the hunt for Zora Neale Hurston novels after finishing "Their Eyes Were Watching God" (originally published in 1937).

It became my habit and a hobby to find an author I like and to track down as many of their works as I can find. I've already done Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, Tom Robbins, Richard Bach, Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, Margaret Atwood, C.S. Lewis & many others.... you get the idea.

I also like works of fiction written by international authors which are then transcribed to English, and I have a penchant for vintage cookbooks and Manners and Etiquette books before 1940.

Thought it might be fun and interesting to see and share what we're reading? Articles, Magazines, Audio books... all in bounds... it's hard with PTSD brains to read. For me it was something I formerly enjoyed that I had to re-acquire. So let's keep it social please and share?

Love the classics. I get my suggestions from a fellow on YouTube. It is calledTristan and the Classics. He educates, give synopsis and gets you to become a huge fan of the classics. Just starting Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. Like many of your authors.

The dwarves series by Markus heitz

 

[Lionheart]

I suppose I am trying to read two books now, "The Art of Psychic Reiki" and "The Body Keeps The Score." It should be an interesting combination.

Can I tell you what I am reading today? So sorry I dismissed the idea years ago! Robinson Crusoe….. it is not what you think you know about the story. Can’t put it down. So so many life lessons hidden. Love it.

I am currently reading, "The Body Keeps The Score" by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.

I’ve been binge-reading (is that a thing!?) the Joona Linna series. I’m a little bit in love with him.

It makes zero sense that I’m able to proper chill out on scandi-noir gore. But there it is!

Yup - tend to binge read when intrusive thoughts are bad....

Restaurant At The End Of The Universe Legend has it the whole book was written in two weeks, two weeks AFTER the publishers deadline. It was also the subject of his quote "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they go by...."
