Just started [I]Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey To Quantum Gravity[/I] by Carlo Rovelli.
-
Just started Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy. I heard it was a very good book.
-
I just finished the Vicki Delany mystery The Cat of the Baskervilles.

Starting tonight on my Kindle, I'll read the short story [I]Long Odds[/I] by H. Rider Haggard, which will be the last Alan Quatermain story I'll be reading for quite a while. After that, it will be the play [I]Amphitryon[/I] (about 200 B.C.) by Titus Maccius Plautus (1916 translation by Paul Nixon).
Non-Kindle reading tomorrow: [I]The Scarlet Woman of Wall Street[/I] by John Steele Gordon.

Actually, I can't read it. There's a glitch in my e-book that makes it skip pages, so I'm going to postpone reading it. Therefore, I'll be reading [I]The Analects of Confucius[/I] (3rd-5th centuries BC) instead.

Bit of a mix this month:
[B]I Am Thunder[/B] (Muhammad Khan) ([url]https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35658909-i-am-thunder[/url])
YA novel set in the UK
[B]Love, Hate & Other Filters[/B] (Samira Ahmed) ([url]https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31207017-love-hate-other-filters[/url])
YA novel set in the US
Both Muslim-perspective ones and both quite enjoyable (and both had certain parts I wanted the authors to delve into and explore more)
[B]Banthology: Stories from Unwanted Nations[/B] ([url]https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38492376-banthology[/url])
A collection of short stories by writers from the countries on the Trump administration's 'banned' list.
An interesting mix - the alternate history one surprised me.
[B]The Golem and the Djinni[/B] (Helene Wecker) ([url]https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15819028-the-golem-and-the-jinni[/url])
Hopefully wrapping this one up tonight.

Bit of a nostalgia book for me at the moment but I bought a new copy of Roald Dahl's Matilda and have been reading it at bed this week.

Oh wow, a favourite childhood film of mine. My parents bought me some special edition of the film once for Christmas, and didn't understand when I didn't realise that it was a joke present :P

Yeah it's been years since I last read Matilda, I intend to start reading it to my son when he reaches the age where kids want their parents to read them a bedtime story. I also bought B.F.G as well.
-
Now reading on my Kindle [I]The Revolt of the Angels[/I] (1914) by Anatole France.
-
Just finished Walter Mosley's latest: [I]Down the River unto the Sea[/I]. Introduces a new P.I. character. Not sure if it will be a series like his Easy Rawlins or Leonid McGill books, but I hope so. And since this book is set in present day NY this character could potentially encounter Leonid.
