I adore reading. I always have at least one book going, usually more than one. Seriously, the library is one of my favorite places, and I honestly can’t think of a single day in which I don’t read at least a few pages of something. I love to discuss books with people, so I thought I would post about some that I have read lately. (This post contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own.)
Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson
This one is about a woman who suffers from the kind of amnesia in which she can;t remember anything when she wakes up in the morning. She has a journal she has been writing in, and slowly starts to remember things from day to day. Of course she doesn’t know who to trust, including herself. I think the idea of waking up thinking you are still in your early twenties and finding out you are older is one that many people can actually relate to. I mean, most people don’t have amnesia, and most people don’t have that feeling every day. But every so often I think we all wake up and wonder how did I get to this stage in my life? Wondering if you could trust the characters, including the narrator, made it a book I wanted to keep coming back to. It was a good read and is being made into a movie.

The Devil You Know by K.J. Parker

This was an interesting one. It is short, it only took me a couple of hours to read. A great philosopher sells his soul to the devil to have enough time to finish up his work. He is assigned an agent to help him for the duration of the contract. This agent has doubts about the philosopher, assuming he is trying to get out of the contact. It was interesting to read how the philosopher explained different reasoning and how you can construct an argument without necessarily believing it. I admit the ending is a bit predictable, but I liked the discussions between the characters and I enjoyed reading the agent’s point of view.I’m always open to new suggestions!–Kim
