I just finished The Philosophy of the catcher in the rye - super interesting, really enjoyed it.
Reading; Red Comment, Heather Clark - biography of Sylvia Plath. Thoroughly enjoying it, though "enjoying" feels like the wrong word due to the heavy topics it goes into.
Also reading Animorphs K.A Applegate. Nostalgic read and a nice, easy one to pick up when I need something less intense. Up to the 12th book!
And a couple of poetry books on the go; Beautiful Chaos - Robert Drake (eh, it's okay), All Dogs Are Good - Courtney Peppernell (fantastic! Will definitely read more of her stuff!) and Ariel - Sylvia Plath (a re-read as I know most of them already but interesting to read with the extra insight of the biography).
I’ve been thinking of doing an Animorphs read again. I read them as a kid and I remember really enjoying them but I haven’t read them since. They were one of the books that made me fall in love with science fiction.
Yeah I remember reading and watching it as a kid but I don't think I ever read or saw all of it so I'm excited to actually see how it develops beyond what I remember! I'm not particularly into sci fi but I did like the teenage alien invasion era back in the 90s/2000s haha.
I wish I still had the alien story I was writing in old exercise books during class, one of the longest handwritten stories I wrote as a kid and sadly disappeared 😭
I was already interested in scifi shows because my mom is a Star Trek and Star Wars fan, but Animorphs is what really got me more into it. The show was interesting, I remember it being a bit weird, however I am in the process of downloading it to rewatch. I see the books all the time in thrift stores and I’m tempted to start collecting them for a reread, but I’ve yet to find the first one.
I hope you are enjoying your other books too!
