boxofdelights• What are you reading?
Still Becoming, by Michelle Obama, which keeps getting interrupted by other books; this week it is
The Color Purple, by Alice Walker, for classics book group tomorrow.
• What did you recently finish reading?
Mercury, by Hope Larsen. Interesting story, which I am still thinking about, but I did not like the drawing. Different characters looked too similar and the same character looked too different from one panel to the next. And I don't mean Tara and Josie, who are supposed to look similar; I mean, for example, Josie's mother and the man Josie falls in love with.
• What do you think you’ll read next?
I've got The True Queen, by Zen Cho!
But Bad science : quacks, hacks, and big pharma flacks, by Ben Goldacre
and Multiple sclerosis : a guide for the newly diagnosed , by T. Jock Murray, Carol S. Saunders, Nancy J. Holland are due back at the library.
• What are you watching?
Jasper Jones, directed by Rachel Perkins. I was disappointed by how ineffectual all the female characters were.

it's good that you have this academic interest in multiple sclerosis. i used to go to the library and check out All The Books (up to 10; my mom's rule) on whatever morbid topic (teen suicide, alcoholism, child abuse) had caught my attention, read them all, return them next week, check out the next 10 of All The Books, and in the meantime my parents would quietly freak out and watch me, I found out decades later, in case I was about to reveal myself as a dead alcoholic abuse survivor or something.
