Oh man, don't I know that.  My wife is a staunch Steeler fan and the Ravens?  Nah..don't even want to go there.    :emot_laughing:

I finished the Harry Potter series of 7 books for the second time.

And just today I finished reading The Alchemist.  I absolutely loved this book.  It was wonderfully written and a beautiful story.  Through his journey across the desert, Santiago discovers self understanding and spiritual enlightenment.  It makes you think about your own purpose in life.  This book was an omen that presented itself to me along my life journey.

"The Alchemist" is on my to read list. I may move it up a slot or three because I'm feeling the need for a little spiritual enlightenment just about now. Thank you.

Since the Covid-19 began, my eldest daughter and I have developed the routine of reading books out loud to each other for half an hour every evening. So far we have read:

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
The Illiad by Homer (several translations, about 1/2 Richmond Lattimore)
Old Man's War by John Scalzi
The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi
The Last Colony by John Scalzi
Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien

We're only up to chapter 5 in the last one. They haven't even made it to Buckland.

On Dublin Street by Samantha Young

I don't even know how I came to possess this book.   Maybe a garage sale.

I knew nothing about this book when I opened the cover other than a steamy cover photo.  Half way through and I'm still not sure what it is about, other than a girl who lost her parents at the age of 14, ended up with a foster family and now at the age of 22 has left the states and she is in Dublin trying to write a book.  She resists the advances of her roommates brother who is wealthy.  And now, they've decided to be friends with benefits.  The 22 year old has a lot of baggage that hasn't come out in the story.  That's where I'm at.  

Right now on a scale of 1-5, I give the story a 3.
The sex descriptions from the author are a 6 (out of 5) though.

I finished the book.   I liked it.  Didn't love it. 
I wasn't sure where the book was headed, but assumed it was the main character struggling with her past and having to get over it.  And that's pretty much what it was.
4 out of 5 stars.
Did I mention the sex scenes were frickin HOT!

Now, what do I read next.  hmmm

Ego Maniac by Vi Keeland.
Great little light hearted read.
Drew is a cynical divorce lawyer, he himself is divorced.
Emery is a positively and hopeful marriage councillor.
They have offices next to each other.
Many grin worthy and witty banter moments between the two.

I can't taste my lips. Could you do it for me?

I just finished Empire Falls by Richard Russo about a fictional small town in backwoods Maine filled with personable and sometimes violent characters that has fallen on hard times after the textile mill closed.

And I just started Under the Dome by Stephen King about a fictional small town in backwoods Maine filled with personable and sometimes violent characters that has fallen on hard times after the textile mill closed, except with an inexplicable force field around it.

My father that died 4 months before I was born was born in such a small town in Maine, except it was a paper mill town.

I read Empire Falls because I read an article about Ivanka Trump’s best friend from school who suggested Ivanka read it, whereupon Ivanka replied, “Why would I read a book about poor people?”

Right now I'm reading Rick Coleman's "Blue Monday: Fats Domino and the Lost Dawn of Rock 'n' Roll". I've read a lot of biographies of the pioneers of Rock 'n' Roll, and this certainly goes on my top 5 of them. It's very well written, easy to read for me too who's not talking English as a mother language, and it very interestingly also draws a picture of coloured peoples culture and living situations in 20th century's southern Louisiana.

I just bought the visual novel adaptation of the podcast Bubble.  I need to start reading it now.

GREG ILES, Cemetery Road
About half way through.  So far so good.  If it finishes strong I may have found a new fiction author with plenty of books written that I can spend the next few months on.

As you may recall, I've been reading books back and forth with my eldest daughter since I moved East. She is still Out West. We just finished Dune by Frank Herbert last night. We are starting Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen tomorrow night. War and Peace is coming.

Wow, I'm about half way through Dune. I've seen so many adaptions of Pride and Prejudice (BBC's 6-Part from 1990s is the best I believe) that I probably wouldn't bother now, plus it's a bit Oprah Book Club.

Ah, War and Peace. Well. It took me around 6 months, reading some most days, back when I used to get a train to work. Spoiler alert perhaps, but the end is terrible. It just fizzles out into an unreadable essay. Awful. Tolstoy got so big for his boots he thought he was reinventing the novel form.He didn't.
