Syllogo of coins of the British Isles 63 - Anna Gannon

I've just finished a book by Xiaolu Guo, which was humorous. 20 Fragments Of Ravenous Youth. Not exactlynravenouse by our standards though. Now I have been trying to plow through her novel I am China. However, so much of Chinese writing is far to sad for me. So why do I (hides face) enjoy David Baldacci writing about so many people getting killed? I'm reading one of his novels now. I used to enjoy academic books, but I'm a bit too old for that these days. One difficult book I am trying is called Clarity by Jamie Smart. It is a self help book. Does abstract thinking atrophe with age?

The Round House

Native American book that I'm reading for class that is often viewed as a Native version of
To Kill A Mockingbird.

1984 (for school)

"Mindfulness and Psychotherapy"

A New Kind of Science. Steven Wolfram

The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey

The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell.

Sirius by Olaf Stapledon. Recommended by a friend and loving the strangeness of it so far and the more straightforward writing style.

The Trial by Franz Kafka.

Starman Jones by Robert A. Heinlein. So far I'm enjoying it.

I am reading three books.
The Hobbit
Out of the Ordinary: True Tales of Everyday Craziness by Jon Ronson
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christtie

I started the Hobbit a year before the movie was released. I thought it would be novel to read the book first. I am a very, very slow reader. I only mention this for your amusement since I've seen all three films, and bought the discs, and I have yet to get half way through the book.
