Anyone can be anon on GoodReads. I have a made up name there. But anyone can read it and join the convo, of course.
Maybe we can have a subforum here?

I already put The Alice Network on my next read list. |
Loved the Alice Network! It started slow for me but was worth sticking it out.
One of her books I didn't love was The Diamond Eye. Not bad, but not as good as the others. It also lauds Chelminiki as a Ukranian hero, which made it even harder to enjoy.

I read The Diamond Eye too. I missed the Chelminiki part, but I love how she really helped me understand to the Russian culture a bit more.
Her way of creating women genius heroes hits the right cord. I can totally see myself in her characters.

A fatal inheritance- absolutely loved this book! It’s about Li-Fraumeni Syndrome genetic cancer. Was really really well written and included lots of info. Any similar book recommendations? |
Were these novels or nonfiction? If you’re looking for novels you might enjoy books by Lisa Genova. She’s a neuroscientist and has written books about different neurological like early-onset Alzheimer’s (still Alice) and ALS (every note played).

We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky: The Seductive Promise of Microfinance- Mara Kardas-Nelson
Chazel calls Ribus(interest)the snake that devours you alive, reading this book you can see it.
Nature Wars: The Incredible Story of How Wildlife Comebacks Turned Backyards into Battlegrounds-Jim Sterba
Don't read this if you believe in Trap Neuter and release with cats
This is about how the animal comeback and sprawl meet together
Both non-fiction.

Finished Dr. Rock's Great Biblical Commentators. Was very good, I feel like she packed a ton of content into the 400+ pages and I learned a lot and will probably use it as a reference book from time to time. Wish my Hebrew was good enough to read the original.
Now reading Pathways to their Hearts, an English translation of part of Rav Nachum Rabinovitch's Mesilot Bilvavam. A series of essays on Rav Rabinovitch's philosophy and approach to issues such as the role of mitzvos, emunat hachamim, the halachic process, Torah and science, and others.
Non-Jewish:
Still in the same place in Blood Meridian. Not very motivated to keep plugging at it. |
Wow I forgot about this thread for a while. Was fun to catch up on what everyone else has been reading in the meantime, keep the posts coming!
Finished Pathways to Their Hearts by Rav Rabinovitch. Currently reading Lithuanian Yeshivas of the Nineteenth Century: Creating a Tradition of Learning by Shaul Stampfer. I consider this a Jewish book and I believe the author is frum, but just FYI, it is an academic book published by an academic press, not a frum-published book.
Reread the Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro and read for the first time The Buried Giant by the same author. Remains of the Day is a brilliant, genius, work. The Buried Giant was ok.
The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen. Did not enjoy this, but if you enjoy Philip Roth and Curb Your Enthusiasm, then you will probably enjoy this book.

Lisa Genova’s books are excellent—highly recommend! Left Neglected, Still-Alice, Inside the O’Briens, Every Note Played

I read ‘Still Alice’. She did a great job portraying the life and trajectory. I have a grandmother that had the disease in her later years so I could really relate. It felt so real that now every time I forget a name or word I’m convinced Alzheimer's is coming.

Just finished “The Anatomy of a Yenta” by Raizy Fried it was very refreshing raw and honest read. That gave me so much food for thought and would love to discuss with others who have read it.

Finished Lithuanian Yeshivas by Stampfer.
Now reading Rabbi Louis Jacobs's Theology in Responsa. Fascinating survey of teshuvos written on questions of belief/machshava, arranged chronologically from gaonim to 20th century. The book is from 1975, so definitely nothing more recent than that included.
A complete pdf is available free online, if anyone is interested: https://t.co/jzal5vmDSg
