OP here, I looooove The Aeneid. Hope you are enjoying it as well!

I like it enough that I read it until I'm 3/4ths asleep -- I know it's time to stop for the night because I've had to read the same paragraph three times.

I thought Patsy was very, very good.

I’m reading Stay and Fight by Madeline Ffitch. (yes, two fs)

Ministry of the Future, which I'm really enjoying.

The Last Train to Key West by Chanel Cleeton

I long for a monthly online book 📖 club on here as well.

I paused the Pessimists - couldn't get into it - but maybe I'll give it another try.

I just started The Golden Couple by the same authors who wrote The Wife Between Us and it's pretty good so far.

Nothing. Sleep deprived and not reading right now. I was on a Terry Pratchett bender last month. His later books are miles better than his earlier attempts, so start with those.

I just finished The Storyteller, Dave Grohl’s memoir. It’s really great!

Looking for something else.

I’m listening to Turtles All The Way Down but just started so am not sure yet if I would recommend. I like it so far.

Loved High Fidelity when I read it - when, in the 90s?

I didn't love Turtles. I should probably try a different John Green. Do you read a lot of YA - or how did you pick this one?

Well this isn't going to win me any "great reader" awards - but I just started reading Crave (that vampire YA book set at an Alaskan boarding school) by Tracy Wolff. I have legitimate professional reasons for reading it - seriously!

Before that I finally read Euphoria by Lily King. I kind of loved it. She really is masterful at drawing you into a world.

The Aeneid by Virgil.

I just finished a random book I grabbed at the library - The Pessimists by Bethany Ball. I give it 3.5/5, it had some decent satire and some interesting characters so I found it to be an enjoyable read. There were a few flaws though, but overall I think I'd recommend it. Now I'm re-reading High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. I really like this book (I wanted to check out About a Boy but they didn't have it at the library).

What are you reading and would you recommend it? I kind of wish we had a monthly book club post here on DCUM, I always like seeing threads about books but they can be kind of sporadic.
