Without homework, I've picked up reading as a hobby again (meaning finishing the books!). I dug up old Hubski threads after finishing The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho on my Kindle. Halfway through American Gods by Neil Gailman, which I saw pop up a lot across threads. I also have The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov queued up since that had some hot discussion in one of the threads.

Probably going to put a couple of books from said threads (and this one!) between Gods and Margarita so I can ramp up the page count over time. Maybe for lack of patience, but more for want of rebuilding story retention. Could be a bogus excuse, whatevs. To it's credit, though, translations of Bulgakov (Margarita's author) are enthralling. From the chapter or so before I switched to Gods was some sweet prose.

Totally counts, tho prolly deserves a separate thread: Comic books. I scarfed down Titans (the DC live action of Teen Titans - whose animated series I adored) before bed every night after working the bees in Israel. Kinda rekindled my interest in comicbook heros. Conveniently, my new place is a 15 minute walk from a comic shop. SoOoOoOo, I'm going through some of the DC universe rebirth books related to the Bat family (Batman: Hush is on order in prep for the animated movie coming out next month). Also, waiting for the first volume of Ms. Marvel to come in.

If Kevin Fiege et al @ Marvel Studios really shoot for Secret Wars, then I couldn't be more excited to see a Kamala Khan on the big screen.

EDIT: Added author names.

Also, Robert Frost is on my list of to-reads. Just haven't thumbed through his works and picked, yet. Open to suggestions.
