A biography of Carrie Fisher.

The Only Girl in the World by Maude Julien. It's a true story and super creepy in the way she's controlled by her parents.

A long way to go yet for me.

I have avoided reading in the order I discovered Niven. I have gone back to the beginning and I am reading forward, from his early career.

Discovering things I had missed.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

14 pages into Die Wise by Stephen Jenkinson and I realized I need to take that on at another time. He's super wordy in a run on sentence kind of way and it takes him forever to get to the point and I don't have the patience for it right now. It's really deep and thought provoking. Will return it to the library for now.

Currently reading The Selector of Souls by Shauna Singh Baldwin

"Crime in Progress", about the origins of the so-called Steele dossier. Good read, so far.

And yes, I'm finally able to read more than a page again. :woohoo:

The Skies of Pern by Anne McCaffrey. I've had it for years in hard cover but just never read it.

Odeon, I may understand your reading woes. After I finished uni, I was all read out. Sooooo much reading I did while I was there, my brain had had enough of it. It's only in recent months that I have started reading again and actually enjoying it. I'm not as quick as I once was though.

Honestly I don't know. I sometimes think it's the ADD but it could be any number of things.
