Hey, it’s been over a year since I last put up a What Are You Reading? post, and because the summer is when many of us catch up on our book piles, it’s time to check in on your literary to-do list.
Me, I’ll be honest, Summertime is when I go diving into the dumpsters of literature for stuff that, even when you dust off the rat corpses fused to it, makes your conscience ache like it’s got a parasite………..at least not until September.
Go ahead, judge me, I’m not ashamed. Just yesterday I was at the local coffee shop flaunting my trash for all the world to see. There I was, sipping an iced tea and cracking the spine on Esoteric Approaches To Hybrid Bioreactor Landfilling—
Okay, okay, fine, you caught me in a lie. That’s not the title. It’s Erotic Approaches to Hybrid Bioreactor Landfilling. And oh did people ogle.
But lest you think I’m all style and no substance, I finished some outstanding novels recently: The Door, by Magda Szabo, The House With A Clock In Its Walls, by John Bellairs, Trouble Is A Friend of Mine, by Stephanie Tromly. And, currently, whenever I tire of Erotic Approaches, I pick up where I left off on Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance.
So, what about you? What are you reading this summer?
Dresden Files book 10
Hey Jeff, I’ve never read these but they sound intriguing. And who doesn’t love an author with Butcher in his name?
Finishing the Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes series, then will finally finish Cinder by Marissa Meyer. But ever present in my knitting bag is the fan fiction novelizations of Star Wars/Ayn Rand. You’ll never think of Admiral Ackbar the same again.
I have Mr. Mercedes on the to-be-read list, heard it’s fantastic. Does Admiral Ackbar pull a Roark and destroy his own spaceship because the cafeteria doesn’t match his unique specifications?
