Just finished reading Eden Robinson's "Monkey Beach." Quite enjoyed it. Just started Birdie by Tracey Lindberg, but I'm not super into it.

Finished my first book in a while on the plane this morning... Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin.
Bizarre mix of sci-fi (mostly irrelevant to the story) and economics theory (very relevant).

Finished Birdie and in the end I liked it. Started to read a book about Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes (focused basically on how their relationship influenced each other's work) but it's a little too academic for my concussed brain. I have ton of other books in line for my reading challenge (including 2 on hold at the library), so we'll just see what happens in the next couple of days.

I'm in the process of reading Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain by David Eagleman.
It was recommended to me by a new friend & I have to say, no one has ever found a book that suits me so well so quickly. Interesting thoughts on the workings of the brain, why we act as we do, why the brain developed as it did, etc. Very, very enjoyable.

Just finished the latest book in my reading challenge I am Malala.
I've wanted to read this since it came out but only got to it now. It felt a little disjointed in places, but a good read nonetheless.
Not completely sure yet what's next.

Ugh. Looks like another one for my "to read" list. I've read a few books about the brain in connection with addiction/other forms of easing emotional/physical pain and it's pretty amazing when you think about how much we already do know about the brain - and how much (much) more there is to figure out.
Malala is an incredible young woman, though I don't think I can even attempt to read her book, as I foresee it being too disjointed for me.
