I just started a book by Khalil gibran. It’s a poetical novel. I can’t say what it’s about because it violates forum rules. I’ve also been reading Cynthia Erivo’s autobiography, it’s really good. And I started a book on yoruban religion recently ---

I enjoy a little true crime too. I highly recommend T.J. English’s “The Westies.” It’s about an Irish Mafia that basically ruled what used to be called “Hell’s Kitchen” in New York. Very riveting read. I also like horror fiction books, and books about weird movies that have cult followings. Also books about horror movies. I have this gigantic book called “Nightmare USA” that I need to try and read one day. I think it might even be out of print. ---

Its about a girl who finds out her boyfriend has another partner and shes not the main partner. So she quits her job ( where he also works) and is struggling with meaninglessness and despair when her quirky uncle contacts her asking if she would like to live in the room above his bookstore and take care of it during the day. She accepts and doscovers a love of books and with the Uncles love fixes her life. It gave me the lesson i’ve been needing to hear and i can’t wait to apply it. Also it made me realize that i need to express my anger, so I am gonna save up for a drumkit.. ---

Therapy workbooks, cookbooks, SF, murder mysteries (Rex Stout is my fave author), and thrillers in the style of Ludlum and Clancy. Michael Connolly is my favourite contemporary author. Larry Niven, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Greg Bar are my all time fave SF authors. A nod to Spider Robinson as well (quirky and fun). Edit: I cannot stand anything by Clive Cussler and the 30 or so of his books around my home are not mine. I swear.
