@gbhnews listening to Timothy Egan's "A Fever in the Heartland: The Rise & Fall Of The KKK In The Midwest" and enjoying "Salem's Lot" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stephen King's first novels.

Sorry to add bad news to this otherwise great thread about positive stuff, but it has reminded of some news to share related to it.

I saw a post saying that the site where 'The Shining' was filmed had a fire yesterday.

@gbhnews Continuing on my quest to read every Spider-Man comic in order. I know it’s not high literature, and may not be the answer the question is looking for, but there it is.

@gbhnews I'm reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. I seem to be gravitating more towards classical literature lately.

yr humble servant picked up this banger from a local book purveyor yesterday

it is the autobiography of Rep. Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress. She led a remarkable life and her dry, direct wit is a pleasure to read.

@gbhnews Similarly appropriate to the poll, I'm about halfway through https://books.rsc.org/books/monograph/2162/SteepedThe-Chemistry-of-Tea Steeped, a fascinating book on how tea "works", both because and despite the author's background in Quantum Chemistry https://www.brynmawr.edu/inside/people/michelle-francl
