"I'm currently reading Needful Things by Stephen King for the first time on my Kindle, and listening to Salem's Lot (read it many times but never listened to it) by Stephen King & Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows on Audible on my Kindle." I know us gals are good at multi tasking, but that's impressive if your doing it all at once ! | |||

I think I'll look into it. | |||

"Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian (again). It may or may not be inspired by a resurgence for my love of a particular thing thanks to a certain amazing show." I read that so many years ago and still go back to it every few years. It's a fantastic companion to european city breaks | |||

"I'm currently reading Needful Things by Stephen King for the first time on my Kindle, and listening to Salem's Lot (read it many times but never listened to it) by Stephen King & Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows on Audible on my Kindle." Just about to finish "Night Trains", a potted history of the Orient Express. Just started "Drueben und Drueben" ('Over there and over there'), a story of two kids growing up simultaneously in East and West Germany. My "To Read" pile includes, among others, Michael Palin's "Around the World in 80 Days" and "Sextant", which unsurprisingly is about early seafaring and the instrument itself. There's a few more, I can't remember, but you get the general pattern I'm sure! | |||

In the reading pile besides various ethnographies of shopping currently are Nate Silver, Daniel Kahnemann (for a re-read), Jane Jacobs, Erich Fromm, and a Jane Austen I have to finish because I am a completist.

Understanding Comics - Scott McCloud. I Am A Strange Loop - Douglas Hofstadter. (I do tend to multitask with my reading!) I haven’t had the energy to start Jerusalem yet. Good?" Very good. But it's a huge investment of yourself. The non-linear narrative, scattered across a thousand years of time, life and dreams and after-life and between, multiple styles of writing, multiple views of events... There's sections that I've re-read several times, re-evaluating the actions of background characters in light of events from later chapters... Currently a bit stuck on the Lucia Joyce section, written in the style of the later James Joyce - finding though that when read aloud the apparent nonsense words on the page start to pick up meaning as the inner dialogue of a confused woman committed to an asylum for the great misdeed of being inconvenient to her famous father... It's over two years since I started the book, I was reading it as I sat by my mother's hospital bed waiting for her breathing to fade and halt, it's been with me through grief and through sunny days. When I eventually reach the last page, I suspect that it will not be the end... | |||
