The Shallows, by some guy or other. Anyway, it's all about how the internet is changing our brains and how it's affecting our memory and about the internet how it's affecting our memory and how we're continually distracted from

Has anyone read a good book lately? I have, it's called The Shallows.
The Dancing Wu Li Masters. My sister was getting rid of a bunch of books and I took a bunch of stuff I would not normally read.

Before that, I read Everything in its Path - someone left it in the trash room in my building. It looked interesting. It was, pretty much.

I saw the film, and the book is totally different - well at least the ending is. I won't spoil either though!

An Hour Before Sunrise by Jimmy Carter. Incredible read if you want to know the real South during later Reconstruction. Such humble beginning to worldwide acknowledged philanthropist.
Going on a cruise next week and so far I have Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and the podcast turned novel Welcome to Night Vale queued up. Gaiman's American Gods, too, if the library copy becomes available before I leave, else I know where I can score copies of either Neverwhere or Stardust, also by Gaiman (I haven't read much of his stuff since Sandman so trying to get caught up).
The Measure of All Things - - Ken Alder
Just finished The Hunger Games and Catching Fire.

I am wondering why I never picked this series up before when it was popular. It was just that I went to a thrift store and saw The Hunger Games for $3 and it started from there. Really enjoying the story and now I am about to read Mockingjay on Monday. smile
I'm almost done reading The Stranger by Albert Camus; it's such a fascinating read, it leaves me such a daze whenever I'm reading. It's quite a short book, but a must-read, in my opinion. Love the philosophical themes present. I'm hoping to read the original french version once I'm done with the english-translated version; in my experience, there are usually a lot of minor differences in translations that can really make a huge difference in the readers perception of the story.

Camus is so underappreciated these days. I read "The Myth of Sisyphus" recently; it completely blew my mind. Anyways, forgive my fangirling over Camus, haha!

I have a couple ideas for what I want to read next (Timothy Findley's "The Wars," or perhaps another Camus novel, like "The Plague" or "A Happy Death") but if you've any suggestions that you'd think I like, I'd be happy to hear them.

Is The Stranger the same as The Outsider? I have that ordered behind Cold Comfort Farm, The Bell Jar, The Girls of Slender Means, and The Rector's Daughter. I can't recommend them obvs, because I HAVEN'T READ THEM YET. I'm still reading Wuthering Heights (I know I'm the last person in the world to read it. Don't tell me what happens. Explosions, I bet.)

I'm not sure why I ordered that Albert Camus story. Was it because I read a recommendation somewhere? Did I read your post and add it?

Yeah, The Stranger and The Outsider are the same; the french name is "L'étranger" which can translate to both depending on the context. It's just more commonly known as The Stranger, I think. I wouldn't be surprised if you've gotten a recommendation somewhere, haha. I just finished reading it and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the ending, wow.

My friends have highly recommended The Bell Jar to me, maybe I should read that soon :')
