Insanity (Mad in Wonderland) by Cameron Jace.

The way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson



...again

I just finished "The Social Animal," by David Brooks. It is most readable and entertaining book I have read about the unconscious, and also his views about how culture shapes human behavior, greatly enriched my societal outlook.

I'm now reading "Pride and Prejudice," to get in touch with my feminine side, and "War and Peace," which is going to take awhile.

In real honest to goodness book form I'm reading The Danish Girl.  On my Nook I'm reading Trans Bodies, Trans Selves or, depending on my mood, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.  Next up will be a reread of The Count of Monte Christo.

Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic by Meghan Ciana Doidge

I just finished The Origins of Totalitarianism, by Hannah Arendt. It's not the easiest book, and one needs to read it fairly critically because she sometimes gets her history a bit wrong, but that said -- it is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the current direction of  politics in the US. (And elsewhere, I think, but I'm not an expert on other countries).

If it doesn't scare your socks off, you're not paying attention.

OTHER SELVES: A Journey of Gender, Fiction, Discovery, and Hope
by Amber Neko Meador from Transition transmission podcast.

Just read Janet Mocks autobiography and it was excellent.

'The Joy LuckClub' by Amy Tan. Just started but I have really enjoyed some of her other books.

Wizard and Glass,  Dark Tower Series, Stephen King

gender outlaw!  Jennifer Boylan

Hello!

I'm reading Dataclysm by Christian Rudder, one of the founders of OK Cupid.  He uses the raw data to explain personality, identity and such.

wow sounds really interesting might have to check it out

Lord of the Rings. Again. When I finally finish it (just started on TTT) I'll probably re-read Shogun.

Bangkok Tattoo by John Burdette.  I just happened to pick it up to fill the time, but am really enjoying it.  If you enjoy crime noir with a cultural (and sometimes gender) twist, give Burdette a look/

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Sophie, Bangkok Tattoo sounds like something I'd like -- I've made a note of it.

I'll need a break, something light, after the current book: The Rape of Europa, by Lynn Nichols. It's the book on which the movie "The Monuments Men" was based. I haven't seen that yet, but they must have left out a heckuva lot...

It's a detailed account of Nazi art theft and looting, and of the work done to try to recover what was lost, at the end of and after the war. I thought I knew a bit about this, but the scale of it described in this book is just unimaginable. And so much was destroyed, or has never been found -- great art that's lost for good.  It's also a very readable book!

I am into Maeve Binchy these days. Presently I am reading 'Light a Penny Candle'. I have another eight of her books on my shelf.

The Zen of Seeing

it's an art theory book
