The New "What Are You Reading" Thread

[thesummerqueen]

I've a stack of books taller than me (and I'm 5'3") that I want to read so I thought I'd reincarnate a thread that's sat idle for some months now.

I just finished The Forgotten Garden - something suggested to me by Epi, and liked it very much. There wasn't enough talk about the garden [amused smile] but as far as secret spaces and family mysteries it was very good.

Right now I'm reading an interesting book called Blink: the Power of Thinking Without Thinking, which explores the way we make instinctive judgments and decisions and the positives and negatives of those snap hunches.

I'm also reading The Whiskey Rebellion, something I'd recommend to anyone who's interested in American history.

I'm finally also working through The Vertical Farm. The author seems a bit like an arrogant prick, but I've been marking all over it so I can pester Rhythm with questions later.

And for sillies I'm reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter which is being made into a movie for next year. It's by the same guy who did Pride & Prejudice & Zombies so it's hilarious by turns and dark by others. I hope Rob Pattinson is the first 'vampire' to die - a bloody, vicious, painful death that turns out to be real so his soulless eyes never again appear on screen.
