The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien nice. read that last year for school. Same. Haven't read much yet, but O'Brien seems like a really intelligent and humble guy based on interviews. I'm pretty excited.

Reading "Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix" for about the 6th time.
I have so many promising books at home, that want to be read. But suddenly I had the desire to read this again.

Just finished Dan Brown's Origin. I liked it better than Inferno. Robert Langdon doesn't shine much this time and also the book teases the 'revelation' almost till the end but it's a fun read. I appreciate Brown for taking on an important subject.

Sinclair Lewis: It Can't Happen Here
I'm only about 100 pages into it, but I guess I can already say this is still as true and important today as it was in the 30s.

Cancer Ward by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway A Legacy of Spies by John Le Carre Candide by Voltaire All of those were worth of reading for different reasons. Cancer Ward is another brilliant view on parts of the communist system, just so good observations (if true) and incredibly well written. A Moveable Feast is interesting if you want to get to know Hemingway and his life a bit better and the charme of Paris in the 1920s. A Legacy of Spies is a nice new entry in the George Smiley canon, but only readable if you've read The Spy who Came in from the Cold. Candide is an amusing satire.

Maigret se defend by Georges Simenon
It's the 60th Maigret novel I've read and I can say it's one of the best.

I'm reading Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. This is a book about a story I wasn't aware of where Osage Indians were being murdered in the 1920s because the area where they were located was sitting on lots of oil which they were getting rich from. Terribly tragic. So far the book is very gripping stuff.

Finished Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I know I'm late to the party but the wtf was Rowling thinking when she allowed this? Time Turner is one of very few things i hated about Harry Potter and she allowed Cursed Child to revolve around that thing.
Harry is freaking auror now and he struggles against a young witch? All the characters we loved in the original books behave way out of their way. Yikes!
I cannot convince myself that this is cannon.
