Some Books of October 2015

Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen. This was very cute and a light read.

Delancey: A Man, a Woman, a Restaurant, a Marriage. Meh. I'd go there next time I'm in Seattle though.

The Empathy Exams: Essays. WOW. Some books find you at the right time in life. I'm sure sometimes I'd dislike it but right now I have so many feels. [livejournal.com profile] randomdreams and I have bets out as to who would finish The Barkley Marathons [livejournal.com profile] skazat or [livejournal.com profile] project_mayhem_. Opinions gentlemen?

To Rise Again at a Decent Hour. I really liked this. Floss your teeth. What do you do with your life when you are already doing good for the world and you've already bought all the things?

The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness. What. you can skip this.

Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China. This book should be longer!

One Rainy Day in May (The Familiar #1). This is an interesting piece of art.

I have a few ebooks and many many physical books to read at this point, argh. Good thing I'll be home for a while after next week. I have a giant Landmark Xenophon calling my name. Probably ~30 physical paper books. Arrrgh. It's a good problem to have but it is definitely a thing to tackle.
