    I'm just not that into novels really. I at least read The Time Machine by H. G. Wells though.

    (also Cosmos by Carl Sagan is an example of nonfiction I read)

    I'm currently reading a book called "cowboy in the Caracas" by Charlie hardy. (Charlie was a substitute teacher I had most of my life at school and he reveled he had a book in my geography class I had asked him "where can I get a copy" he told me "online" but then the next day he showed up to my class and asked if I would read the book I replied yes and he then sighed the book and gave to me) its about the author Charlie who was an active priest who was sent to live in Caracas Venezuela in the barrios and the struggles both he and the locals went through living there.

    Getting started on the first "age of ash" book, it's rated very highly by many other authors.

    I promise you it might be.
    No spoilers.
    I've been reading "we've always lived in a castle" by Shirley Jackson and it's a real fun small read, i highly recommend it.

    I finished the first volume of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou at the beach. Next time I go to the beach I will probably read the Esperanto version of the Italian comic Diabolik that I have or finally finish up that one Moomin book I have in Esperanto

    After I finish my Esperanto comics, I plan on reading Curious Incident of a Dog at Midnight in Esperanto. It was translated by the author of Complete Esperanto Tim Owen along with some people from his club in London. It's the one about the autistic detective.

    I also am getting another 150 dollars from a research study which I will probably use some of it to get the rest of the Sfero collection which contain Sci-fi Esperanto short stories. I have the seventh one and that one was interesting. The one I remember is a short story about some guy cheating on his wife with a robot and the question was whether or not that was really cheating or just masturbating with a sex toy. It was strange.

    The Nineties by Chuck Klosterman.
    Kind of a dense and intellectual book but it has some good parts in there.
    I think the people on this forum that are older than I am (i.e. most of you) would really appreciate this book.
