Salkum Timberland Library Book Discussion discussion

What's everyone currently reading? I just got Nelson Mandela's "Long Walk to Freedom" in the mail. Looks like I'll be busy with that for awhile!

That's definitely a longer read. Should be well worth it though, it's supposed to be a great book!

I'm about halfway through Nella Larsen's "Passing" and I highly recommend it so far. It's beautiful writing and enthralling considering it's short length (about 100 pages).

I'm reading Glen Cook's "The Black Company", which has been pretty entertaining... and moderately depressing. I'd recommend it to anyone in the mood for gritty, dark fantasy.

Yeah, I just read the synopsis for that one...gritty and dark indeed! Are you planning on reading any more in the series?

I am flying through Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I don't normally read horror but I am loving this book!!!

I just finished "An Absolutely Remarkable Thing" by Hank Green - which was recommended by someone (I have no idea who, but thank you!) and it was fabulous. Kind of an upbeat, science fiction bit about a trendy, graphic designer who stumbles upon a sculpture in New York that turns out to be a space alien.

A big part of the book is about the polarizing effect this presence has on the world - bringing some together and turning other people into hateful conspiracy theorists - which was weirdly relevant to real life right now... 2 Thumbs, way up!
