i've jumped from reading about remote viewing to researching about cfs/me...chronic fatigue/i can't spell the second term...this week.

also read junk mail with an internet offer and good thing i read the fine print...the offer is only for mobile devices and i only have a laptop,which is technically mobile,but i don't think that is what they mean.

read a fascinating article in a recent issue of rolling stone i got from the library about using psychedelics to help mental health...i'll probably be dead before they get to using it legally (but that's partly because i'm old and not very healthy). the online link to the same article is here:

i hope i'm using this comm properly. i read stuff everywhere,and don't often read entire books because...attention span? lack of focus? jaded and not interested in most things for long? a.d.d.? whatever! having said that,i've read some fat-ass books because i loved them,including in the last couple of years: against the day by thomas pynchon,reamde by neal stephenson and a history of cancer treatment called emperor of all maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee..yes,i had to look up and copy/past the name!...which was very good and fascinating and horrifying and many other things.

This comm is exactly for people who read all the time and don't always manage to read books.

It's also for people who do manage to read books.

It's for discussing reading and reading achievements and reading failures and reading habits.

yay! i'm so happy to find a place to discuss reading of all types even beyond books. i love books,but there is so much more to read.

It took me a while to get into Reamde. At one point, it seemed like the book would never end. Even so, I ended up really enjoying it.

i'm not really into the 'type' of book this is,but i really like neal stephenson's prose. a lot of the time i choose my reading...especially fiction...by how much i like the writing regardless of topic,pretty much. i don't know what that says about me or if other folks do that.
