Would you like to share your current reading list?

I just finished Never Flinch- one of Stephen King's Holly books. Was good.

Currently reading Knife- Salman Rushdie's book about his attack.

I think Catch-22 is next. I've never read it.

I tried Dungeon Crawler Carl but gave up on about page 16.

My son gave me a book called How to Live with Objects. I tend to pick it up when I want something non-scrolling. It's pretty good.

I am reading the river has roots by amal el-mohtar. This lady has such a nice way of writing its so refreshing and enjoyable to read. Ive always been terrible at writing and communicating ideas. She inspires me to write and just try and express thoughts in a flowery manner. Its like the text is imbued with emotion.

The book is cool because the magic is called grammar and to the average person its just grammar as is but to the magically inclined it can be transformed and weaves there is a land that exists where time is flexible. She explains the magic of the world while also showing it by transformating the sentences through past current and future tense. Its a short book I got it yesterday and I'll finish it next time I pick it up.
