J. is starting Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
The audiobook I was listening to was also messed up. Waiting on another copy from the library at the moment.

J. is starting The Bone Clocks
Sigh. I have bad reading luck lately. I've finished the first Disc, and just discovered that the audiobook CD for Disc 2 from the library is totally nonfunctional.

J. is reading The Kite Runner
Oof. Almost a third through this awful thing and am VERY close to adding it to the small 'will not finish' list. Will reserve explanation/further comment for when I (a) finish it or (b) make the decision not to.

J. is reading Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation
I have only finished the preface but... ouch. I will try to give it a few chapters before I decide, but so far I am not sure if I will even be able to stomach that much (mostly due to how badly written it has been so far.)

J. is reading Speaker for the Dead (Ender's Saga, #2)
*big sigh* I'm about half way through this book and loving it so far, but I really wish I hadn't so obviously figured out the big reveal so early on. I'm still enjoying the text but the suspension of disbelieve is shattered since at the back of my mind I keep just drumming my fingers for the revealed so that it can progress further without just hinting about it over and over... Hmm.

J. is reading Starship Troopers
I'm on Chapter 8 and I've rarely been so torn about whether or not to continue reading a book because of how distasteful I find this. (Will explain further once I've finished OR decided not to continue.)

J. is reading Alice in Wonderland
Oof. Because it's such a short book, I'll probably finish it... Yet so far it strikes me as trivial nonsense with a main character I'm starting to increasingly dislike. Still, I'm only at the beginning and am trying to give it a fair chance to improve and read for metaphors and larger meaning.

J. is reading The Silmarillion
I'm still reading (and enjoying!) this but yesterday I found some charts that make following along much easier:

J. is reading The Sun Also Rises
I'm on track 20 (2min in) of 123 in the unabridged audiobook. So far, although I liked The Snows Of Kilimanjaro and The Short Happy Life Of Francis Macomber, this one just feels like drunken sounding drivel to me. I'm setting it aside to *maybe* pick up again another time... but then again, quite possibly not.
