What are you reading tonight DU? I'm reading "River Thieves" a novel about people living in

[applegrove]

Newfoundland in 1819, just at a time when the last native people's were dying off. I don't know why I always end up reading about pioneers. Their lives were so, so hard. Written by Michael Crummey.

2. I haven't read anything in a little while

The last book I read was The Believing Brain by Michael Shermer and I'd recommend it.

Pretty soon I will be reading economics text books.

3. A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan.

Thus far it's about record producers and the adult lives of a late-1970s-era teen glam-punk band.

4. "The First Tycoon" by T.J. Stiles.

The story of Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Interesting.

5. Embassytown

China Mieville.

He's brilliant. But unless you're into Outre, you probably won't like it.

Think Phillip k dick meets Lewis carrol on acid with a dash of William Gibson, dr. Seuss, and Dickens.

And so far this seems pretty normal by his standards!
