I recently started
Loremaster (ascension of a street rat #1), by M.E. Robinson
Stephen King… Revival
Finished reading We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver
Started reading the Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I read *The Feather Thief* by Kirk Wallace Johnson, which taught me about Victoria. salmon fly tying and a wild heist of feathers from a Bristish museum. Kind of a nutso story.
I started my fourth Barbara Kingsolver book of thebyear, *Flight Behaviour*. I just can’t get enough of Barbara Kingsolver, apparently.
I was looking for something at the intersection of psychology / philosophy / perception / consciousness and someone suggested Ted Chiang. I’m halfway through *Stories of Your Life and others* and it is extraordinarily compelling. Just what I was looking for!
* Ulysses, by James Joyce
While I enjoyed most of the prose, the final parts written as a play are outright bizarre.
* Sága o Lundirovi, by Jan Kozák
At the heart of this book is a classic saga set in a fantasy world. Fun, easy read.
However, it’s prefaced by faux scholarly introduction and followed by encyclopaedic appendices that make it intimidating. The author, an academic in religious studies specializing in Northern European mythology, experiments with designing new cultures and how they view each other.
I’m not sure what I’ll read next. At the top of my list are
* The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank
* Hordubal, by Karel Čapek
* The Years, Annie Ernaux
* The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World, by Antony Loewenstein
* Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future, by Elizabeth Kolbert
**The Old Curiosity Shop, by Charles Dickens**
**Lost In A Good Book, by Jasper Fforde**
**The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, by Michael Chabon**
**Eagles At War, by Ben Kane**
