C. John Kerry (cjkerry) | 117 comments Currently reading Doc Savage The Man of Bronze by Steve Englehart , Interesting item in that the original stories were published by Marvel Comics but this collection is published by DC Comics.

I finished listening to The Supermajority How the Supreme Court Divided America by Michael Waldman The Supermajority: How the Supreme Court Divided America

Started listening to Everything's Fine Everything's Fine by Cecilia Rabess . I read an article that included this book as an example of GoodRead's reviews almost tanking it before it was even published. I decided to try it myself even though I suspect it isn't one of my usual genre.

I finished my chapter-a-day book The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, #1-3) by J.R.R. Tolkien The Lord of the Rings. I started it on May 20 and just finished it. I really enjoyed it and plan to read it again. Sometime.

I think I'm moving on to Autobiography of Mark Twain The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1 by Mark Twain Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1

If I get these big ones off my shelves, I'll be able to replace them from some of my piles.

Michelle Brown | 1 comments A Little Life- I finally finished this book after starting 4 times. There was a point in the book each time where I didn’t feel like I could emotionally handle what was coming. This time I persevered, and I am so glad I did. Jude has entered my thoughts every day since I finished as has Willem. I don’t think these men will ever leave me, and that’s perfectly fine with me.
