So What Are You Reading?

I just finished Shadow of the Fox, a young adult novel about Japanese yokai, samurai and shinobi. I have to say that it fulfilled my expectations as a light but entertaining read. It's the first in a trilogy, so I will be looking out for the next two books when they come out.
Next, I'm going to start reading The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters. I picked it up on a whim and hope it will be good. It's about a young female suffragist in the Victorian era who is subjected to hypnosis by her father to 'cure' her of her disobediance.

This sounds really interesting! Can you post your impression of it when you’re done?
Absolutely! I'll be sure to share as soon as I'm done.

I'm reading a lot of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series lately, in between other stuff. At the moment it's Moving Pictures, tough I don't read as much as I would like to these days.

Just finished Nina LaCour’s We Are Okay. I went into it knowing nothing other than the summary on the inside cover and that it was classified as LGBT. I started out unsure about it, but in the need, I really really liked it. Definitely worth picking up if you’re interested in themes of loss and identity.

Right now I'm reading a few articles from The Advocate of Peace, which was the journal of the American Peace Society.

Currently reading a few scattered articles by "The Vigilante" group. Stark nativism at its finest.

ok I didn't think I'd find the reading thread, anyway, I'm currently reading The Wicked King. :')
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was as excellent book. I loved the way it captured the inner workings of the mind. I hope you enjoy it.
One thing to note: It is very much a product of it's time, so the unapologetic racism can take some getting used to.

Eh honestly I prefer if whatever media is indeed a product of its time and not ruined by self-censoring or stuff. Times were different and we can only learn.

i'm currently rereading 'aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe' by benjamin alire saenz!! it's such a wonderful, emotional book and i'm so excited for the sequel!
That is very true. I read a lot of classic literature so I'm used to it, and agree with you. But there are a lot of people who are sensitive to that kind of thing, so I always feel it's worth mentioning.
But seriously, it was a really good book. I saw the movie recently and it didn't even come close to doing the book justice. It skipped over all the great mental imagery.

Yeah but those people need to learn and read their history. I mean if you're not mature to deal with things maybe you should not read it either, imo. People are way too sensitive and as long as people are not depicting the same just to provoke them, eh. I mean stuff are products of its time and those were the times. No need to cut stuff or get down on your knees begging to sensitive tumblrinas.
Anyway, I saw like half of the movie in high school and yeah I can imagine the book is better.
