Yes, I read lots of Books

I read for a while each morning and most evenings. Yes, yes...I read your blog posts here on Steemit and other social media sites, but I also read books. 🤓 lots of books.

I am usually juggling 3-10 books at a time...nibbling and dabbling on some until I eventually finish or else decide they are no longer worth my interest, and devouring others entirely because they educate, entertain, or inspire me. I like old school paper books, but really I prefer the ease and space savings of digital downloads. So, mainly iBooks or kindle for me. I also like to have a few audio books for times I’m walking across town or driving for a while and need inspiration or mindfulness.

Here is a screenshot of the iBooks I’m working through right now:

“The Artist’s Way” is presently what I read first thing each morning. Actually, that book has me doing “morning pages”, a practice of writing 3 pages long hand on paper 1st thing each day to spur creativity. Then I read a few pages of he book. Good stuff that book is. 🙏🏽

“Crazy Rich Asians” i bought to try as surface-brainless evening entertainment, but I couldn’t get into it. It’s too surface-brainless for me. Instead I’m Digging “The Handmaid’s Tale” for such purpose.

“Tarot of the Spirit” after being inspired for years by the incredible Tarot art of @reinhard-schmid 🙌🏽

Trying a sample of “The Ultimate Medicine” per the recommendations of the wise @acesontop

I don’t remember what inspired me to download “The Mind Within the Brain” but psychology and even neuroscience fascinate me. Haven’t started it yet.

I adored David Dieda’s 1st book, “The Way of the Superior Man,” but so far “Finding God Through Sex” had been good, but feels a little cheesy. I mean I know it’s doable...I HAVE found god through sex, but this book is a little too “how to-ish” for me to really feel his message on this one.

If something isn’t available in iBooks I go to kindle. @sean-king and I share a kindle file and here are our most recent reads:

I believe “Freedom” was written by a Steemian? (Yes, @adamkokesh) I downloaded it per @lukestokes recommendation but haven’t started it yet.

The Pinker books are Sean’s purchases. Perhaps He will recommend them as books I might like, but I can usually just ask for a summary of books that he reads. I’m very lucky to have 24/7 access to Sean. (I’m not kidding. I really am a very privileged human in this way.)

“Vital Points” was written by Steemian @kyusho . I am eager to read it but will wait to finish a few others before beginning more.

“Slave Girl of Gor” I’m reading for a second time. The Gor books are notoriously long and wordy, but wow there are some powerfully arousing scenes in there. Arousing for me at least, and that all I’m looking for sometimes.

“The Raven & The Aspen King” is the 2nd book of a trilogy written by my dear friend, Monika Carless. She was on Steemit at first as @paris-loves-her but sadly lost her login data. :/ I loved the first book in her series, but have struggled to get into this one. I keep meaning to try again. It’s unique...polyamory love triangle, elements of BDSM, paganism, and time travel. It has a lot going on! Sometimes it’s hard to tell which character is sleeping with whom, or in which era! 😆💗

“The Ethical Slut” I’m also reading for a second time. It’s good! It makes sense. When I practice periods of open relationship sluttiness I’m very honest and ethical about it 😂, but there are only so many hours in the day and not enough lately for such shenanigans for me. Maybe rereading it will inspire me to play around again one day...

So that’s it. I’d love to hear what you’re presently reading or what type of books interest you.

And thanks to @eveuncovered for inspiring this post with hers. 🙏🏽
