Love to hear your thoughts on this book... :D

Hi Liz,
  Pay day on the 23rd - I will buy Kindle/ Audible. I will let you know my thoughts- I love talking books. Following your posts at the moment. My thoughts are with you - fantastic times! The atmosphere is electric at the moment! I'm also a little bit envious just quietly.

  Wishing you smooth sailing over the next few weeks - I love hearing your story - so valuable - loaded with facts & feelings.

  Yours truly, Kirsten.

I love reading and can't wait to combine through the entirety of this thread to find new gems.

I picked up "Nine Perfect Strangers" by Liane Moriarty today.

I finished Tana French's "The Tresspasser" and loved it.

This dude recommended Jordan Petersons " Maps of Meaning" I'm going through the PDF version and the Audio version. So far fascinating stuff.

Scratching the surface of Peterson and finding it runs quite deep.

Glad you're finding it of interest. Some books on myth and applied philosophy can be intensely dry and boring, but JP's methods are much more accessible for the layman like me.

I am reading two books right now. One is Challenging Genders by Micheal Eric Brown and Day Walker Burill, and it's about nonbinary AFAB individuals. The other is Before I Had the Words by Skylar Kergil, which is about his transition and philosophy on gender.

I find both to be very interesting and comprehensive while not being dryly academic about their facts. I also connect with so many of the stories of the nonbinary AFAB people (Challenging Genders was just published this year) that I really needed lately. I've been feeling so detached from the community and my identity for the past year or so. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to read on the trans experience or connect with other narratives.

Kylo how come youre always on the high end esoteric >-bleeped-<? Now Im intrigued! If I ever saw your home library I dont think I could handle the eclectic mix of deep and meaningful & philosophical& psychological  profound & up to date topical issues.

Cant you say Im reading OK magazine right now!!

I'm reading now VANITY FAIR 100 YEARS: FROM THE JAZZ AGE TO OUR AGE (here https://booksrun.com/textbooks/9781419708633-vanity-fair-100-years-from-the-jazz-age-to-our-age-8-11-2013th-edition is a description of this book, so I accidentally didn't start spoiling). I read the original work of Thackeray in college a long time ago, then I started watching the serial and remembered that I really liked this book. I started looking for similar books. It seems to me that classical literature is relevant at all times.

I am reading a few books at the same time.

Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde
I Am Her Tribe by Danielle Doby
unladylike by Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin

'My Sweet Untraceable You' by Sandra Scoppettone. I really like her writing style! This is one of her earlier works. I have read one of her later books and her writing has, in my humble opinion, really matured. Fun and easy to read. I really like the main character's development!
