I'm reading The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. The writing style is smart and absolutely enjoyable, it feels like it was written during the times it portrays.

Just finished Nightcrawling by Lelia Mottley which is a fictional retelling of the Oakland PD sex scandal. Man holy fuck it left me feeling empty inside.
Not sure what book to read next after this one. I'm sitting at over a hundred titles in my TBR shelf lol
Listening to the audiobook of Ursula K LeGuin’s The Farthest Shore with my partner and we’re really enjoying it!
I’m wrapping up Jane McAlevey’s A Collective Bargain, which is a great read especially if you have a vested interest in improving your working conditions. I am also trying desperately to catch up on my comics a little lol
On hold is Michio Kaku’s Hyperspace- I was super into it until I needed to instead read a book about workplace bargaining. Still super into it especially with the recent announcements about grav waves and neutrinos.
Up next, I’m itching to read Junji Ito’s adaptation of No Longer Human, a 1948 novel written by Osamu Dazai.
The Essential Rumi. It is the first time I've read poetry in a log time. I'm enjoying it more than I anticipated.
Rumi is brilliant! Good pick!
