Reading List - February/March 2009
Monday, March 02, 2009
I'm juggling three textbooks in addition to my regular reading, so the reading has tended to be on the lighter side, by which I mean fiction. It's so much easier for me to read fiction, where I can get swept up in the story.
But, my next few books are all non-fiction, so I'm not sure how that will work. I've already almost finished Lobdell's book - it's like a fictional book because it's captivating, even though it's a biography. Pinker has been interesting so far, but weighty. The Universe has been on the shelf for many weeks now and I wonder if I should try it again later when I'm not so busy.
Read in February
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
The Welsh Girl - Peter Ho Davies (Nonbelieving Literati)
Currently Reading
The Universe - Byron Preiss (Editor)
The Stuff of Thought - Steven Pinker
Losing My Religion - William Lobdell
Coming Up Next
I haven't decided yet.

Yikes. Good luck on The Stuff of Thought. Good enough book but if you haven't read The Blank Slate, it would have been a better place to start with Pinker. Truly a great book.

I read the Handmaids Tale years ago, when it was first out. It was frighteningly realistic then, and perhaps even more so now. (My memory could probably use a refresh, though.)
Your review of the Welsh Girl sounds intriguing - I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
