Band on the Run

I love Mark Bittman's recipes in the New York Times. The Minimalist.

I'm reading 'Speaker for the Dead' by Orson Scott Card. Pretty good stuff.

I also sat down and started reading 'God's Kingdom Rules!' A stunning work of fiction, it captures the history of a hypothetical "true religion" with incredible detail.

Ben Goldacre: "Bad Pharma",

an eye opener, before I read his "Bad science"

Mum

I just finished The Art of Racing in the Rain, which is narrated by the family dog. I enjoyed it immensely. Dogs are wonderful beings.

Captain Obvious

Just started reading Leo Tolstoy. Excellent

SafeAtHome -

Also reading the Louise Penny series - currently A Rule Against Murder. Trying to read them in order - this is, I think, my fifth.

New Worldly Translation

I'm reading Capital in the 21st century by Thomas Piketty, The condition of the working classes in 1844 by Engels and the Essays of Michel de Montaigne.

Also some manga - Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue and Urusei Yatsura by Rumiko Takahashi.

Mum Loved that one too. Another great series is the Chet & Bernie mysteries by Spencer Quinn, also narrated by Chet the Dog..really good stories and Chet is a hoot. BizzyBee, that series was addictive and best read in order also, especially the last few since the storyline overlapped. I love good detective mysteries that aren't full of blood and gore and females in peril.
