Corpus Mysticum: The Eucharist and the Church in the Middle Ages by Henri de Lubac

Deer, I'm looking forward to your thoughts as you finish FK. Don't want to spoil anything tho, so I'll say no more.

I'm listening to The Passage by Justin Cronin, read by Scott Brick. This is a re-listen for me; the first time was about 5 years ago. Book 3 of the trilogy came out a couple of months ago, so I'm revisiting the first two, as I've forgotten a lot of the details. I haven't read book 3 yet, so no spoilers, please!

(BTW I tend to listen to books rather than read them, just because I don't get a lot of time to just sit and read, and I can listen while driving and doing other things. I recommend it).

Audio Covenant (Scott Brick) has finally released his readings of the Second Chrons. I haven't heard them yet, but rumor has it they've been well received.

I can't listen to them...it's too slow.

What is Philosophy? by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari

a book about Houston Murders. got that and the Texas Bird Book from the library where we are babysitting Julie's mom. really nice library.

Finished Forge of Darkness, and taking a break with A Greedy Man In A Hungry World, by noted restaurant critic and food journalist Jay Rayner, in which he talks about food security, "organic" food as a marketing trick, and other interesting things.

Masochism: Coldness and Cruelty & Venus in Furs by Gilles Deleuze, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Just finished The Sympathizer, and I enjoyed what some critics called "overwrought" language. I think that's a result of being spoiled by Donaldson, though

That book was rather dark, though, and given that the very next book I jumped into was Underground Airlines... well... I need something more lighthearted after these two.

Basically, I read a book about a Viet Cong spy within the American military during and after the fall of Saigon, and followed it up with an alternate history where the US never fought the civil war, and slavery is still practiced in 2016.

Yeah, I need something fun after these two.

And my choice for lighter fare: Don't Sleep with your Drummer, by Jen Sincero! About a late-twenties girl who throws away everything to follow her dream of starting a band!

I do like alternate histories. That one sounded interesting.

Moby Dick

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world."

Haha, not sure why those opening lines stick in my head. Pretty good book though, if perhaps a little padded...
