Wednesday Reading Meme February 28, 2024
Feb. 28th, 2024 11:57 amWhat I’ve Read:
Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat by Bee Wilson – Robo Book Club – This book is form 2012, so if you’re interested in the history of kitchen tools and culinary tech, you have already read this or head its content via podcasts. It’s fine. Last week’s irritation about the maple syrup quotation was not the only time I felt a bit irked by the author’s slightly lackadaisical mode of citation, but meh, it was fine.
What I’m Reading:
A Court of Thorns and Roses – Sarah J Maas – Audiobook – 25% I needed something to fall asleep to last night and this does not require much attention to listen to – it’s fine as long as you’re not paying much attention to what you’re reading. I am using it to train myself to listen to audiobooks at a higher speed.
The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York– Robert Caro – like 14%

In other news, my knee injury is a partially torn ligament, so I’m on minor limitations while it heals – mostly don’t do anything high impact and test carefully before I commit to things. It’s not very painful except when it is.
Owned and need to read: Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology, California Bones, Raven Song by IA Ashcroft, At The Feet of the Sun by Victoria Goddard, Tamryn Eradani's Enchanting Encounters Books 2 and 3, Tom Stoppard, Invention of love, "You Just Need to Lose Weight" and Other Myths about Fatness by Aubrey Gordon
