I just started reading "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" by Greg McKeown.
I know it sounds like something totally counter culture to what being a stripper is all about, but it is about having a mindset that allows you to actively decide what is the most important thing to you and to single mindedly go after that thing. In today's world, focusing in on goals like a laser beam is difficult. This book teaches you how to avoid distraction and live a lifestyle you design for yourself.




I am reading How to make love like a porn star by Jenna Jameson. It's pretty good... I never understood why people love reading biographies so much but now I think I'll start reading more...![]()





Stephen King's Dr Sleep
Don't remember the author, but The Strain. Wasn't esp 'grabbed' by the promos that I saw for the series b4 I shipped out but the book was Damn Good.
Working my way, slowly but surely, thru Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen. I love his books, esp being in S FL myself.













"Lying in Wait", by Ann Rule. Horrific true crime stories.
MANY MEN WANTED TO LAY ME DOWN, BUT FEW WANTED TO LIFT ME UP
-Eartha Kitt





Ann Rule, I like her writing. I read Green River, Running Red: The Real Story of the Green River Killer by Ann Rule. I could not put it down. It was so morbidly interesting. It happened around the Seattle area. Gary Ridgeway would pickup street prostitutes and kill them. He got some kind of sick sexual satisfaction by strangling them.




How to make love like a porn star, Jenna Jameson! A fun read!




Amazingly, I flipped the book open to the exact page:
"When Warlock was ten, he liked baseball; he liked plastic toys that transformed into other plastic toys indistinguishable from the first set of plastic toys except to the trained eye..."
A few pages later, at Warlock's eleventh birthday party, a little girl says "I gotter [sic] Transfomer anna mylittlepoyer [sic] anna decepticon attacker anna Thundertank..."
So that's a Thundercats reference, as well.![]()
I read pride and prejudice only because it was free on the amazon kindle app and I absolutely loved it. Took me forever it get through though with the olde English.
"There are different kinds of darkness. There is darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. There is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good."
- The Court of Mist and Fury
Looking for Alaska by John Green
"There are different kinds of darkness. There is darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. There is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good."

Rather heartbroken to read on the Wikipedia page for "Good Omens" that both a sequel and a film adaptation were in the works but now appear extremely unlikely. Johnny Depp as Crowley and Robin Williams as Aziraphale? I'd say Tom Hiddleston for Crowley, but that may be a bit too similar to Loki. So... Timothy Olyphant? And Bryan Cranston for Aziraphale, of course.




Just read "Alice in Wonderland" and am now looking up all the symbolism, subtext, and mathematical references hidden in the book. Some pretty complex stuff in a "children's" book.
I think I brought up the "42" thing in another thread. Anyway, I'm currently reading Stephen King's "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption," the novella on which the movie was based.Alice's attempts at multiplication (chapter two of Adventures in Wonderland) work if one uses base 18 to write the first answer, and increases the base by threes to 21, 24, etc. (the answers working up to 4 × 12 = "19" in base 39), but "breaks" precisely when one reaches base 42, leading Alice to declare "oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!"
It is impossible not to hear Morgan Freeman.





Oooooh, sounds so interesting. I remember reading somewhere the Louis Carrol (that's the author) was some kind of math person. I'll do some research too So we can talk.




I subscribed to Audible after your recommendation Elektra, I love it! I fell asleep listening to Tales of the City last night. It was really relaxing as it's so passive just listening instead of having to do all that difficult stuff like turning pages and moving your eyes :-)




I'm reading The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath right now.
