RUBICON BY TOM HOLLAND - Pretty good but he gets a bit convoluted and show-offish with the semicolons and clauses and whatever in his writing style. No breaking news on the Roman front ( spoilers the republic ended) but he characterizes a lot of ancient figures and whatever.

Now I'm reading KOCHLAND BY CHRISTOPHER LEONARD. unsure why mr. Koch is being such a dick to this union rn.

Finally got around to Cat in The Hat

Vast in its depth and scope...a visionary accomplishment

Embodies the insidious Jesterlike ethos which permeates the Zeitgeist

And is an ardent stance against government conspiracies to cover the crown chakra

With elongated hats. Pulitzer Prize worthy disgusted he hasn’t been nom’d yet

I read 27 books last year. The best was Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe.

I've been reading a lot this year, currently 8 books already. Might do a breakdown soon. Earth Abides by George R. Stewart has been my favourite so far, really good.

Yeah I've been very brain dead lately to even read the images you posted about how reading stimulates your brain theres no doubt about it... i've got 2 books on my table right now I just grabbed them.. one book is called All the Lights we Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr I put a subway food coupon book as the bookmarker on page 137 it looks like... and I remember part of it... haven't tried to read it in like a year for sure

its a fiction book that goes back and forth between a deaf french little girl and a german nazi kid... who was an orphan and joined the nazi kids youth thing because it was his best option... seemed like a good book but like I said.. only on page 137 according to my book mark.

and under that was a book I never even opened up.. called Aware by Daniel J Siegel.. "the science of prescence" "The groundbreaking meditation practice"... that must have been something my mom sent me for Christmas or something that I never opened so I don't know if thats good or not.

A good book to read, it would probably be better for people that have alcohol/drug addiction issues.. or.. any other sort of addiction really. Its called The 4 agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz... its kind of like a self help book but it never mentions drugs/alcohol or any other type of addiction so when you read it, it doesn't feel like you're being preached at or anything, I hate when books do that, but anyway its a good read those are this the last books I remember reading
