So What Are You Reading?

I'm three quarters into Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne and it's honestly amazing. Can be a bit jarring to my tastes though so when it bores me I stop and read a graphic novel becuase those are short to read and most I've read are awesome. Since I've begun 20 Thousand Leagues, I've read The Becker Heritage, Persepolis, Maus and a The Picture of Dorian Gray adaptation.

Started on The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir last night. Really interesting so far, and creepily current even today with all the conservative views surfacing.

Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain. I got it for a dollar months before he passed and I'm hoping I can get through it. I've been putting it off for obvious reasons. . .

I have The Girl from the Other Side series to read and Stars Bleed sitting around.
The latter's a large read, so I'm not sure when I'm going to pick it up.

I’m about halfway through Little Women! I’ve been wanting to read it for awhile, but I’m only just now getting around to it. I’m really enjoying it.

I recently started reading Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa. I was in the mood for a lighter read after finishing several classics in a row, and this book seems interesting. It's the first book in a young adult series about Japanese yokai and samurai. I'm enjoying it so far.

Reading a book about Vietnam and the Vietnam war, sort of an anthology with different chapters about the subjects by different authors.. really interesting!

No idea about if it ever got translated but the Swedish title is 'T?lamodets Triumf' or something. And there are several authors so idk what one to search for really.

I finished Little Women! I thought some of the moralizing got in the way of the narrative during the second half, but since Alcott basically admits through her characters that she considers morality tales important, I?m not surprised haha. I also misremembered the Friends episode and thought that

Spoiler: I?ll just tag this in case

Jo died, not Beth, so up until it became really obvious Beth was going to die I was thinking Jo was going to die and frail Beth would marry Laurie lmao.

Overall, though, it was an enjoyable read.
