What are You currently reading

[philstar22]

What book(s) are you currently reading or rereading?


I randomly decided this morning to do a Narnia reread, mostly because I was looking for something short to read at the Dallas Arboretum. I ended up reading all of Magician's Nephew and the first third of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe before it got too cold and I had to leave.

Shadow & Bone, La casa de los espiritús, and a non-fiction book that I thought was a bestiary of unicorn myths and their variations across time and regions and instead is... a giant philosophy essay?

Ooo la casa de los espíritus!

What's the giant philosophy essay called/about?

Re: What are You currently reading

[malurette]

whoops I put the accent on the wrong syllable

It's a French book on "Unicorns: the ones that exist and the ones that don't" and the blurb at the back was very misleading. (There was a bit about medieval bestiaries in the middle but to get there I had first to wade through so many pages about "subject" and "object" and "concept" and Kant and whatnot, and I suspect that bit about Harry Potter and My Little Pony at the end will be vry cursory and from philososphers who know nothing and care even less about fandom.)

I'm reading the Lovell translation/abridgement of Journey to the West that Dom Noble recommended on his youtube channel a couple of weeks ago. It is superfun, actually. In many ways her translation/abridgement is reminiscent of Pratchett during his prime writing period. Recommended.

That's a really interesting comparison!

Oooh, I recently picked up the Anthony C. Yu translation, which I'm excited to get to.

Along Came a Llama, about a family living on a hill farm in Wales in the 1970s. They decided to buy a llama because one of the family was severely ill and they thought it'd cheer her up. It did.

I read it ages ago, just before taking on two alpacas. It was quite useful, as well as being a nice read.

Just finished the Midwest Survival Guide by comedian Charlie Berens, and when I went to get a second copy to give to my parents for the holiday, discovered that it's sold out everywhere and the publisher is rushing a second printing.

Do recommend, mostly because he makes a conscious effort to support indigenous creatives, businesses, and people in general by including their work and links to their businesses. Oh, and also championing Hmong and black contributions to society in the midwest, including an interview with a popular Hmong restauranteur from the Twin Cities.

So much poetry! I just finished a collection of Thomas Hardy's poems and T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets. Sylvia Plath, Paul Verlaine, Robert Browning, and Li-Young Li are next in the queue.
