My books are somewhere in storage at husband's dad's. I can never find them when I go over there.

As much as I prefer print books in principle, I don't read many of them these days. The good thing about the internet is that you can often find a book you are looking for for free when you can't get it at your local library or afford to buy it.

Because my work is reading/absorption/mentally intensive, I don't much feel like a lot of reading in my down time. So I skim a lot of books. I tend to read more essays online by Charles Eisenstein, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, or reporting on drug/med by Maryanne Demasi, or at madinamerican.com

I've read four books start to finish (that I can remember) the last several years.

- The Keep by Jennifer Eagan (fiction). Fantastic, suspenseful fiction in a new style. You won't see the ending coming.

- The General's Son by Miko Peled (autobiography). Miko's story is fascinating. He is an Israeli-American peace activist born to an Israeli military general father. Great read.

- Utopia Is Creepy by Nicholas Carr. This was an online e-book, but too good to not read. Nicholas has a great writing style for non-fiction and his exposé of big tech hubris and fails are really satisfying.

- JFK and the Unspeakable by James Douglass. I'm only on the first chapter of this one, but I suspect I will find time to read it all the way through. It is very thorough and deeply researched. I highly recommend that every American read it.

The other books I've read all the way through would be poetry books by Oregon poet William Stafford.

Okay, I've just been listening to a girl who said she read 400 pages yesterday. I want to get back to that. I bought the first book in the Discworld series, but when I mentioned it on Threads, two friends told me that it wasn't their favourite from the lot. So, I need to finish my library book, and see if they have any on the shelves, and maybe take it back. I know I read one of the books in 2015, and I got it right off the shelf, but when I checked the website on Saturday, they had none of them listed anywhere. I don't know if it's a mistake, or if they maybe sold them in book sales.

I *love* reading. I've gotten through 4 books in the past 8 days

Topic? Nonfiction and horror only nowadays. Vampire books are my favorite. I cannot STAND sci-fi.

But my Favorites? Lolita, Exquisite Corpse, The Picture of Dorian Grey, Interview with the Vampire....

I don't know astrological reasoning behind this, but my --

Sun is in 12th house
Mercury in 12th house
Sun + Mercury in Scorpio
Uranus in 3rd house, -- Uranus Square Mercury
