What are you reading?

I just started reading “The Satanic Verses” by Salmon Rushdie. I’m finding it hard to read. I’m going to take a pause from it and get a Cliff’s Notes Study Guide booklet for this book before going back to reading it.

Well, I read through my documents on paper, not my phone screen, yesterday.

I actually do have a couple of questions. They're not major ones but I need the answers.

So I called the scheduler (back in the day she would have called a secretary but ok). I had to leave a message. I didn't get a call back. I'll try again tomorrow.

The daughter of one of my witnesses beat cancer more than once but is in the ICU because she went into cardiac arrest twice.

I'm praying and waiting for news. I bought condolence cards in case I need to send them.

Our NY house is supposed to close around Thanksgiving so I'm working as fast as possible.

I miss reading a lot but I've become near sighted. I have readers while I look for a Dr. and get glasses.

In any case, my eyes hurt when I read.

Nevertheless, I have a list of books I want to read. I'll buy them after I move. These will be mainly be poetry, music history, and a guide or two about learning Latin.

Other than hard core reading, I plan to buy coffee table books, mainly about jewelry houses, history, and architecture.

I plan to buy an XL sized phone and desktop computer with a printer, if possible.

Do you folk keep a pile of books 'on the go', to dip into as the mood takes?

Bedside table has these:

I'm actually reading the chimney sweep and samurai spirit books. The other humour & poetry as my mood takes.

Meanwhile downstairs on the arm of a sofa is another pile of mostly recently bought books that I'm looking at rather than reading:

I can’t read books anymore, by which I mean codices. I’m too spoiled with my kindle and its control over font size.

At the moment I’m reading the new Chernow biography of Mark Twain. Very much enjoying it.

But it's nice to have the real thing in your hands

Im way old school, really prefer scrolls. Never really took to the codex. So switching to ebooks was easy for me.

I am still very fond of my kindle because of the ability to change font size! The print in books is too small for me most of the time.

I do love knitting books because the pictures are way better than on screen ebooks.

I just finished The Time Traveller’s Passport (only available on Audible). It’s a collection of six short stories all related to time travel. I picked it up because one of my favourite authors (John Scalzi) wrote the first story. I absolutely loved three, liked two, and hated (DNF) one. Not bad for a short story collection!
