ASTROPHYSICS for People in a Hurry - Neil de Grasse Tyson

I think my hubby picked that one up, but it's in the TBR stack. Is it any good? Seems to me I read a review that said he might have rushed a bit with this one.

I just finished I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou. I find her to be a compelling writer and, although much of this book was difficult, she writes in an honest and matter-of-fact way that gets the reader past the more painful parts. :heartpump:

That's on my re-read list. I read it in college and remember that it was very powerful and knew I would have to read it again at some point, but haven't yet.

What I am re-reading for the umpteenth time is The Old Man and the Sea. I just got a hard cover copy and I love Hemingway, and so I re-read

After that, I brought a few books with me on vacation and just bought some more today. Not sure what will be next on deck. Stay tuned!

(And soon, too. Old Man won't take me very long at all.)

This one is on MY re-read list, since I read it in one gulp a few years ago. My copy is just a paperback, but since it's been lightly used I hope it lasts awhile. :lol:

I did have the foresight to buy myself a gorgeous hardback copy of Caged Bird... I somehow knew it would be a repeat kind of book.

I'm reading The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. It's a book that I should have read a while ago, and focuses on the mass incarceration of minorities and the long-term implications of said incarceration.
