I was reading Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series), picked it up again but bookmark had dropped somewhere and I couldn't find where I was, so may start from some earlier place.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Im coming to terms with the fact I may have ADHD, talking to a psychologist.

So, reading is often nothing or everything, lately it is nothing, but prior to that I was re reading Dune up to Children (I have like 20 pages left to read and I have been at that part for about 5 months )

Today I will revisit Master and Margarita where I have about 100 pages left also have been at thst part for 2 or 3 months.

Prior I read some Spanidh novel about a poor man who went from master to master, each one treating him badly until he was more or less liberated.

I plan on revisiting Don Quixote after....I've resd the first few hundred pages like 6 times and quite liked it...

I may read Amadis of Gaul along with Don Quixote.

Uhh......and there is King Arthur and the Round Table (Mark Twain) thst one I am ln the last 10 chapters or so)

I really hope to come to a solution with this

It fear and feel that I've been 'with' Don Quixote for the better part of 5 years. Listening to audio books before sleeping and forgetting where I left off and re listening. And then starting over completely. Or just starting a chapter over.

That is leading me into a rabbit hole of romantic novels. Romantic as in Chivalry because I feel as I though, while I love the hunour and now feel a strange closeness to Sancho Panzo, his aquire, his Horse, and Don Quixote himself-I jave done Cervantez a disrepect bu not digesting it fully.

Which is also becoming true of Master and Margarita.

Like Im reading and choosing books based on my insatiable drive (sometimes there sometimes not) to fill these made up gaps of knowledge (Chivalry Romance novels, European Classics, Russian Classics, at one point biographies and memoirs of big events such as a Vietcong Memoir....)
