Currently reading
I just finished up Terry Pratchett's Diggers and thought it was okay, but it didn't really hold my attention. I bought it for 60 cents new, and I definitely thought it was worth that, but I can donate it now to someone else.
I've just started John Steinbeck's America & Americans which is nearly a coffee table book in size and has lots of really neat photos from the 60s and 70s. It's interesting so far to see how he saw the world at that time. He's talking about how mobile homes have the same neighborhoods as any other districts. He also talks about how restless people are and of desires to own your own home and how it can both be something wonderful and something to chain you down.
The pictures along with his writing are really cool, and I didn't really know he had something like that (I read Travels With Charlie) until I came across the book in a stack of my mom's books labeled "Books of mine I'd like to keep." I kept every one of them, and they are much cooler than my books. Looking forward to reading them, especially the book of Leonard Cohen poems.
