I'm currently reading Huid & Haar by Dutch novelist Arnon Grunberg, which is the 5th book of his I have borrowed from the local library. I think it's weaker than his 2004 bestseller De asielzoeker, and while it's stylistically more solid than his first two novels, I find that it's thematically a lot more run-of-the-mill so far.

Just finished Clean: Overcoming Addiction and Ending America's Greatest Tragedy by David Sheff. It's a good read.

For something a bit lighter I'm currently reading DC's reboot of Justice League vol.1 while I wait for Amazon to send me The Philosophy of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Stoic Philosophy as Rational and Cognitive Psychotherapy by Donald Robertson.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Musonius Rufus on How to Live trans. by Ben White

A nice modern translation of this obscure Roman master. It has been organized a lot like the Enchiridion and lends itself to daily readings along with Epictetus' handbook and Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.

Rereading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Needless to say, it's an amazing, wonderful little story.
