What I’m reading

Sooo I haven’t update on this for awhile. After finishing Under Western Eyes which I enjoyed far more than I expected to, I read:

which some of it I thought she was totally onto it, and then some she was just completely off what I thought she should be? Like she talked about “don’t become a stripper because it’s demeaning to women” and then said “but you should if you want to” and “i don’t approve of wearing burqas” and then “unless you want to”. It just seemed like she was attempting to pass judgment on things she didn’t know a lot about but THEn saying “but it’s okay if you want to…I guess” so I had mixed feelings about this book.

and at the moment I am almost finished

I like it!
 

What I’m reading

I have now finished the Millennium trilogy. I thought it was okay, better than I expected even given the hype around it. There were a few things I didn’t like perhaps, but it definitely made me more interested in learning about Steig Larsson!

Next I read:

Thinking in pictures: And other reports from my life with autism by Temple Grandin

 which was very informative and interesting. It gave a good example of a visual mind and characteristics of the autistic spectrum. 

and now I am reading:

Under Western eyes by Joseph Conrad
