forestofgloryI keep thinking a want to bookish post and then hesitating because I want to do some type of 2013 reading in review post early next year and I'm not quite sure what to write about it the meantime. I've been enjoying reading others best books of the year, but I want to wait until the year is done.
I'm going to have more time to read once I finish my course work, and more importantly more focused attention. I have some complex books waiting to be read.
Next month I'm going to a one day seminar on The Great Transformation by Karl Polanyi (for fun), so I've been trying to do some background reading. I've gotten all the books on my to-read list about enclosure out form the university library and hope to at least skim them. I also just finished Debt: The First 5,000 Years by David Graeber, which I'd been wanting to read for ages, but couldn't quite justify with all the thesis reading I ought do.
I recently read Drama by Raina Telgemeier, YA graphic novel about a stage hand and middle school musical. She has purple hair! I was super pleased to read something about a stage hand that was well done, as there are way more books about school plays form the actors point to view. I did tech crew for my high schools plays and musicals and loved it so I feel especially close to this type of story.
