    If you're curious, or simply nosey, this section is a listing of the books I've been reading lately. My reading habits tend to be all over the map as far as genre, and I also seem to have the retention ability of a screen door with the screens ripped out, and the door held open. So, more to the point, this list helps me to remember what books I've read so I don't end up buying them again. Wow, using the internet to store extra memory, how futuristic can you get?
     Now, enjoy! (Oh, and feel free to send me free books. No pressure, just a suggestion... )
~ 2026 ~

    January 2026
        Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar... ~ Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein (2007) philosophy (208 pgs)
As the cover blurb says, Understanding philosophy through jokes. Funny and informative
        Starter Villain ~ John Scalzi (2024) science fiction (279 pgs)
What if you inherited a supervillain business? Great fun, very inventive.
        The Raw Shark Texts ~ Steven Hall (2007) novel (428 pgs)
Novel that could only be done on paper, visual of pages important to flow of story. Great.
        Happy-Go-Lucky ~ David Sedaris (2022) essays (259 pgs)
Sedaris as snarky, judgmental, and darkly funny as ever.
        Magic for Beginners ~ Kelly Link (2005) short stories (318 pgs)
More wonderfully weird meta-fiction shorts from Link. Hope she does more!

    February 2026
        My Planet ~ Mary Roach (2013) essays, humor (191 pgs)
Less science oriented, more personal essays from the great Mary Roach.
        Just My Type ~ Simon Garfield (2011) design, history (342 pgs)
Fascinating, detailed history of font design over the last century or so.
        Profiles in Ignorance ~ Andy Borowitz (2022) history, politics (260 pgs)
How America’s politicians got dumber and dumber. Sad but true reading,

    March 2026
        The Midnight Library ~ Matt Haig (2020) fantasy (288 pgs)
Interesting take on the "get to lead every possible life I could have" idea.
        Autobiography of a Fat Bride ~ Laurie Notaro (2003) essays, humor (257 pgs)
More funny observations on just getting through life.
        All the Light We Cannot See ~ Anthony Doerr (2014) novel (530 pgs)
Engrossing stories of young lives in WWII with a mysterious core. Great read.
        Zoey Is Too Drunk for This Dystopia ~ Jason Pargin (2023) novel (391 pgs))
More disturbingly strange adventures of weird people in an odd world, and funny.
        Everything I Never Told You ~ Celeste Ng (2014) novel (297 pgs)
Did not like any of the characters in this forced family drama-in-a-mystery.
        Wit’s End ~ James Geary (2019) humor, language (211 pgs)
Subtitle says it all: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It. Great read.

    April 2026
        Zigzag ~ Bill Pronzini (2016) mystery (271 pgs)
Four tales of varying length, playing with the detective genre nicely.
        Mermaids in Paradise ~ Lydie Millet (2015) novel (290 pgs) RE
Took a while to grow on me, got better, really liked the ending. Had totally forgotten I already read this!
        The Saint of Bright Doors ~ Vajra Chandrasekera (2023) fantasy (216 of 356 pgs)
I wanted to like this, some good stuff, but just a slog to remember so much plot.
