My advice, don't invest with money you're not ready to lose

Read all three in the Red Sparrow trilogy. So good. Cannot say enough about those books. Engaging as hell the entire way through.

Gonna read that Class Notes book this week.

 

[Chopper]

Read this a couple times in high school along with all his other stuff. This is such a classic.

Adjustment day by Chuck P

The first bad man by Miranda July.

New year, new reads. I plan on doing more reading this year around black music and the era of reconstruction. I think it's important for us to look at that time period because it set the stage for what we're seeing right now. If this generation of black folks is serious about changing things, we gotta head to the stacks and talk to the ancestors.

I’ve read four books already. Best I’ve read are The Mars Room by Rachel Kushner. Phenomenal. And Eileen By Ottessa Moshfegh. Worst The First Bad Man by miranda July and the invisible circus by Jennifer Egan. Currently rereading Church of Marvels for work, amazing literary thriller and will probably start Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders or My Year of Rest and Relaxation bun moshfegh.

Phenomenal story. Dude is an absolute beast

 

[johnnyredstorm]

My year of rest and relaxation is phenomenal so far. Third of the way through. Dark funny and oddly empowering.

[nomnom]

lol! He references this interview a lot and how cringey and biased it was.
This one is a good one I listened to before starting to read.

 

[SC kid]

When you finish that book, let me know what you think/if it's worth the time.

I ordered Duke Ellington's autobiography "Music is my mistress" a week ago and it came in the mail today.
I opened it and found that my copy was signed by the Duke himself

NO WAY. That is incredible. Love Duke.

NO WAY. That is incredible. Love Duke.

I couldn't believe it when I opened it. What's crazy is that Duke signed it in Jan of 74 and he died a few months later in May. So it was prolly one of his last signed books before his health got bad.

Glad I found this thread. How do you guys choose the books you read?
