The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin

Just finished reading "The Seventeen Solutions" by legendary activist Ralph Nader. He discusses ideas for getting out of the current malaise we seem to be stuck in.

Hi to everybody. I have just joined your reading group and I I hope to find interesting suggestions. I am based in Italy and I am particularly fond of Victorians - Virginia Woolf and Jane Austen.
At the moment I am reading "The London Scene" by Virginia Woolf.

I am just about finished with If I Only Knew... by Gigi Scott. It's an inspirational true story. The author uses a pseudonym because she had to get protection from the FBI, as her ex-husband took out a horrifying plot to destroy her life and from what I read had threatened her life and that of her daughter. Besides that (I assume that is the plot and all the details are in the next and final chapter I am reading), the story is absolutely fascinating. It is full of history as well. Gigi's mother escaped the Nazi take over, and with her family escaped to what was then Palestine. She served in the British army, and was used as a spy, only she didn't know it. Gigi was married to an Israeli mobster who caused her to try to kill herself. The story of the Israelis and their treatment of women is disgusting and horrifying. Gigi's life is by no means EASY! However, as much as I cried and laughed, I find her story to be inspirational. I can't put the book down. 650 pages that captivated me more and more as I progressed through the book. The final chapter is what I've been waiting for. Will leave it for tomorrow as it's time to get some sleep. Good night to all.

@bloomsbury Jane Austen... the classics.... my absolute favorite!!!!!!!!

The book has very nice recipes in it and was very cheap.

The Brothers Karamazov (re-read), The Black Swan (the nonfiction one). and Barack Obama: The Story, by David Maraniss. The last one I recommend for anyone who isn't turned on by the typical biography of a politician. David Maraniss is a superb historian who weaves the varied stands of Obama's early life in a way that doesn't provide simple answers, but answers to the complexity and chaos of life. He's like a novelist-biographer. He conveys to the reader his sense of wonder that seemingly trivial events in the lives of two extended families in Kansas and Kenya changed history, bringing to the world stage the most unlikely of presidents, Barack Obama. I'm on page 100 and Barack has just been born.

Right now I am halfway through "The Senator's Wife" by Sue Miller. I haven't decided whether I like it or not yet, but I am reserving judgment until the end!

Just finished reading the novel by Bruce Chatwin, Utz. A short book, but an amazing read! I think Bruce Chatwin managed to grasp and express the whole atmosphere of the Central Europe, in the 20th century, the way people lived back then. Great book. The next one I started reading is Changing Places by David Lodge.
