The Books

I've been a reading machine recently. I leave one book in each room or place I frequent, and read only that while there. The basement is the domain of Freakonomics. Miranda July's No One Belongs Here More Than You: Stories is for the bedroom. So is Kay Ryan's Say Uncle. Driving to work is for Moby Dick, and while at work it is How the Mind Works by Steven Pinker. Those last two are accomplished through audiobooks. Herman Melville's classic is easy to follow as I drive down the freeway, but I find it difficult to follow where Pinker goes while I work. I haven't studied psychology at all, and it doesn't help that Pinker's work asks a lot of attention out of the audience when they can read through it with visuals at their own pace. Look for reviews when I finish these books.
