Rereading for the third time...

Gonna read this next….It has been in my Amazon basket for a couple of years. Must be good!

I can't speak to your politics/personal views on the world (would also say any polarization/politicization of the material speaks more to the person being uncomfortable with what they're reading, as opposed to the material therein), but it's something I go back to the well on as sort of a reaffirmation of a lot of the ways I look at life. It's good stuff, very smart guy.

Damn good! Enkidu, if you see this, you should read it. It’s about “your people”

Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. I am listening to the audiobook read by the author.

I don’t have Hulu so I didn’t watch the series. But I like the book so far.

Continuing my venture of Steven Hyden's books.  Just finished the Kayne vs. Taylor chapter.  Onto the Beatles vs. Stones.

The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

On a different note, how do you read graphic novels? It's a different approach, isn't it? Do you spend more time trying to figure out the emotion of a scene or what? A bookstore near me has a graphic novel book club, and it would be a new way of reading for me.

Graphic novels are great. Take extra time with the illustrations.

I don't want to give anything away.  This book is a delight.  I was drawn to it while waiting around for my daughter to pick out a new YA novel at the bookstore.  If you care about the environment, or love nature, trees the woods etc, you will probably love this book.  I'm about 2/3 the way through and am really enjoying it.  Paging @brianlux I think you would really enjoy this one.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Other people have recommended it to me but to be honest, I tried and couldn't get into it.  Maybe I'll try again one of these days.

Not all books are for everyone that's for sure. At least you tried.

Good point!

My next read will be one I probably breeze through like I have all the many others by Henry Rollins- the new one, Sic:

Have been lazy about updating and slow going on reading, as I'm usually wiped out when I lay down to read at night.

Patient Zero seriously opened up a can of worms for me. I think I have read everything from Maberry and I just started Cave 13, which was released a couple weeks ago. 

His "Pine Deep Saga" might be my favorite trilogy of all time.

I just finished the poetry collection The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón. I've read quite a few poetry collections, but this is my new favorite book. She defines the close by looking beyond.
