Apart from the news and OKP, of course

So far during this:

James McBride's latest «Deacon King Kong»
Raymond Chandler «The Long Goodbye»
Haruki Murakami «Wind-up Bird Chronicle» (never read it before even though I'm a big fan)
Haruki Murakami's «Killing Commendatore» (not his greatest, imo)

This and a dance of dragons really expanded the GoT world and I was a fan who liked that. I had forgot all about the Greyjoy machinations and the buddy comedy that was brienne and (the much younger than was on the show) podrick Payne

By Celine

Not bad, but I don’t love it. I’m about halfway through, but reading about super rich people gets a little tiring. Just finished A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson which I really liked.

With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo

But just googling it now and I can't find much. I wanna read it too, mostly heard good things

I actually go back and forth among his big three for favorite, but right now it's Long Goodbye so praiseworthy choice there.

The only reason I checked it out was after reading a Murakami interview where he said he loves Chandler's book. Gonna read The Big Sleep next!

I read it a long time ago, and didn't really grasp all of what was happening. Now, in a pattern that is very, very familiar to me - I am spiking a smaller, focused bit of research that I'm doing by dialing my scope all the way out into a sweeping multi-century intellectual history that's not going to do me an ounce of good.

But it's an incredibly good book. Also reading Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of God is Within You" and Petr Celcicky's "On the Spiritual Battle" for the project that Blumenberg's massive book is spiking into theoretical oblivion. It's on Christian anarchism as a kind of perpetually out of date intellectual project. It will never be finished.

'In a new book, Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America, out April 7, Kendzior traces the series of events that led to Trump’s candidacy, beginning in the 1980s. “I wanted it to be clear to people that Trump and his cohort did not come out of the blue, that this is not some sort of fluke,” she says. Does she have any predictions for November? “The main thing I’m worried about is election integrity,” she says. “I’m worried about voter suppression, about foreign interference, about unsecure machines.” '

Percival Everett - Erasure

My only other new book is Kei Miller's Augustown, but I want to save it for a later date. I'm rereading a Nietzsche book, but I don't think I'm going to finish it tbh.
