[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just put a hold on that fungi book so fast.

I’m reading Big Swiss. It is a hilarious and so pointed book about a transcriptionist for a sex therapist. It’s set in Hudson, NY, and really skewers a certain type of New Yorker. [/quote]

I also placed a hold on entangled life immediately on seeing the suggestion (there’s an audiobook too!).

I’m also part way through All The Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks which is memoir about the early days of AIDS.  The author ended up first helping get burials for AIDS patients in her area (lots of Pentecostal families who wouldn’t acknowledge their gay sons) and then sort of moved on to helping people living with AIDS in general.  I’m finding it really interesting so far — it’s such an important part of history we don’t usually discuss, especially the parts outside of NYC/LA.

On a lighter note I’m also rereading Better Part of Valor by Tanya Huff which is a military sci fi action story — fun and well written and a quick read.  And planning to pick up Kingdom of Without by Andrea Tang next week: alternate history heist novel that I’m excited about.[/quote]

Me again, having finished All the Young Men; it was really good and I highly recommend it, especially to those enjoying Educated and similar memoirs.[/quote]
