Just finished Pushing Ice. Good solid sci-fi. I was thinking it would be a little more about comet mining when I picked it up, but it was a good read.
Read Bird Box on the plane last week. Nice, dark, unsettling reading. As is Wise Blood, which I'm reading now.

One of the top ten non fiction books of 2017.
It tells the true story of the Osage Indian murders in Oklahoma in the 1920s.
The Osage were a tribe of native Americans that were forcefully relocated to Oklahoma at the end of the 19th century. In the early 20th century, oil was discovered on their land, making them the richest people per capita in the world.
Then... they started to get murdered. From 1921 -1925, 21 people were murdered leading to a huge investigation and the development of the modern FBI. I recently became aware of this story after listening to The Teaching Company course "The American West."
There were lots of interesting stories, that I was thinking of adapting into a written story, but the Osage murders really caught my ear. But after doing some research, I found that:
Currently the film rights have been purchased and a movie is in the works by Martin Scorcese and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Filming begins later this year. I'm assuming Leo will be playing William Hale,
who was the evil mastermind behind the murders....
The book is actually mediocre in my opinion... but the story itself is the stuff of movies. But then I guess that's why they are making it into a movie...
Just a Girl in the World
Just started reading Between the World and Me, by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Reading "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk.
This was the first novel by Palahniuk (The author of Fight Club). It was, however, rejected by the publishers because they found it "too disturbing."
After the success of Fight Club though, they published it.
It's a piece of transgressive literature that uses first person narrative in various timelines.
There was supposed to be a film version in 2009 but it fell apart for various reasons.
I hope that it will still be made at some point because there are a few twists that are in the same vein as Fight Club. I think it could be a pretty good film.

I just started this one. I rarely get to bestsellers until they are around long enough to be more widely available, but a friend treated me to this one.

Quote by DamonX
After reading "King Leopold's Ghost" I decided it was time to dust off the copy of "Heart of Darkness" that's been sitting on my shelf for the last five years.
Running with the Africa theme I picked up:
I figured I'd read a bit about a different "shithole" country each day.
I think I will get your Africa book and read it myself. Thanks for the suggestion!

The Aeneid, Virgil
I love that book! Read it for fourth year Latin. "Of arms and the man I sing...."

Quote by Chryses
I'm making do with Dryden's translation.
Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate,
And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate,
Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore.
....as if Dryden was not a major figure and not worth the reading himself!!
