Hello everyone! Hope you’re all having an amazing day.
When having an urge, reading a good book can really make me feel less stressed. What book are you reading, or would just recommend because you really liked it? Right now I’m reading all the Dostoevsky books I have, having myself a little marathon.
Would love to read you. Have a beautiful day, guys.

Hey Trevor how was the coyote book? The coyotes that pass through our property up here are normally very predictable but their behavior lately has been odd/different…so it’s made me curious to read more about them now and I remembered you posted about this book before.

I’m honestly only a few pages into the book I’ve been slacking on the reading. I don’t have any excuses lol. I will definitely let you know if anything sticks out that’s interesting. But so far it’s pretty cool. I’ve never really been much of a reader but I’m trying to change habits And if something interests me I should try to learn about it. I saw them like crazy when I was in Tucson. And when I was temporally homeless I woke up to a pack of them one time but they ran away. I don’t hardly see them in Florida though
If I read anything about their behaviors or why they might act odd I will let you know for sure

Sweet!!!
I have to finish this one (only a little bit left) before I start the Carl Sagan book.
Although my ADHD medication helps me focus enough to read I still find myself delving into multiple books at a time so I am trying to clean some of them up before I start anymore. 
Happy reading to you too.

Nothing tepid about My Dark Vanessa. It is in your face and definitely controversial…makes you think and cringe kind of novel. Well written, difficult subject matter.

Sweet! Thanks for the Rec…It’s up next in my audible list! Currently in the middle of “Infinite Jest” on audible.
I read it when I was 25 and in love with sitting at the coffeehouse on rainy days. Wanted to revisit it a bunch of years later without nevcessarily having to get in the way of the other books I’m reading.
It’s kind of a bummer bc they only number the footnotes, and you have to find a page with the notes (pretty easily findable on the internet) to follow along with. Kind of tricky when I do most of my listening while driving! I end up missing some of them when I finally go back to read them but…since it’s a second go round I’m not to deterred by it.
Currently hard copy reading “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” with “Klara and the Sun” up on deck.

I only made it halfway through Infinite Jest, maybe it was all of the footnotes. 
Klara and the Sun was really good but I like Ishiguru. I read Never Let Me Go by Ishiguru a long time ago but loved that too, Remains of the Day not so much. Sapiens is on my to be read list, let me know what you think.
I love reading and always have a few books going. Today I also started a re-read of The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes. Creepy, old-school suspense is always good for me.
Happy reading to you!

Awesome…thanks again for the Recs here. I know I love some good Murakami, and someone told me that if I did, I should give Ishiguru a shot. I just finished “The Memory Police” by Yoko Ogawa and that was a good one. Sat,quiet, meditative, but also difficult to put down.
I definitely hear you on Inifinite Jest being a rough go 
I actually am rereading it to gauge how much my younger self was basing their experience on whether they actually ENJOYED something…or possibly on….well…wanting to feel cool!
The juries still out. I’m not sure if this sounds weird, but I think I might be enjoying it in that it helps me to understand David Foster Wallace.It feels as though it gives you a glimpse into his psyche in a way. With how intelligent he was…and tragic and sad, it really becomes an interesting study in how one mind works.
And I’m just realizing now…as a total nerd for other peoples minds and ways of thinking…is THAT why I like reading so much? Because it’s mental voyeurism? Is that why I love nothing more than to go to a cafe or restaurant and get lost in a book rather than talking to another person? Because I already AM “talking” to them? But I don’t actually have to talk at all! Imma stop before I creep myself out😂

I saw that on here a while back and added it to my to be read list after reading the synopsis. Thanks for posting it.
Isn’t it great that we will never run out of good things to read?

I am avid reader! I genuinely feel joy when I read and collect books 
I usually do a three book rotation (I read 50 pages of a book then switch to the next - seems like I would get confused that way but I don’t. It forces to me to really think about each book.)
I actually just finished my 50th book today!
My current rotation is:
· Summer of Night by Dan Simmons
· Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence (this is for a book club - usually not my cup of tea lol)
· The Night Eternal by Guillermo Del Toro & Chuck Hogan

I read Lady Chatterly’s Lover when I was too young. I remember it being either much more racy than I was expecting or much less racy than I expected. 🫣😉
