Just realized that right now I am actively reading:

-The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles
-A Power Unbound by Freya Marske
-Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher
-The City of Brass by SA Chakraborty
-Vita Nostra by Marina Dyachenko
-Mother Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simone

That’s too much, even for me. What should I focus on finishing first?

@kayakalison @bookstodon Six seemed like a big number to me, but I realized I am now actively reading 4 books: "Selected Poems" James Tate; "Cosmic Trigger 2" Robert Anton Wilson; "Collected Stories" Arthur C. Clarke; just started "My Brilliant Friend" Elena Ferrante.

Short Stories.

Love ‘em, hate ‘em, somewhere in the middle?

Years ago one of my dear friends (who is a huge bookworm) and I were talking. She told me she hated short stories. I can’t remember why or if she even told me a reason. This conversation has stuck with me, because I struggle with them- why? I have no idea. I have tried different tactics to overcome this. I am s l o w l y reading one now, but I don’t gravitate toward it (not the one pictured, but it’s one I really want to read if I can ever get there).

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

@mloxton @Likewise @bookstodon I still enjoy reading short story anthologies. Many of my favorite writers specialize in short stories, such as Harlan Ellison and R. A. Lafferty.

Pitchers and catchers report next week, and it's around this time of year that, if I can, I try to read something baseball-related. Yesterday I picked up a book that I read when I was a teen and remember enjoying it very much: If I Never Get Back by Darryl Brock. It's sort of like if Field of Dreams and Back To The Future had a baby, and it's great. @bookstodon

@dbsalk @bookstodon If I Never Get Back is a great book. I read it because it was recommended by writer George Alec Effinger.
