WHAT have you finish reading recently? War, Bob Woodward, focusing on Biden, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Israel.
WHAT are you reading now? The Summer Before the War, Helen Simonson. Bit of light historical fiction set prior to The Great War. I’m also reading Congress for Dummies, a dated (2002) guide to Congress’s inner workings.
WHAT are you reading next? I’d say Chernobyl’s Wild Kingdom, but it won’t be in for another week or so. I’ll see if the Nixon biography is work committing to.
And now, funny booktitles, for this week’s prompt from Long and Short Reviews!
How I Killed Pluto and Why it Had it Coming, Mike Brown
Cinderella Ate My Daughter, Peggy Orenstein
They Eat Puppies, Don’t They? Christopher Buckley
We Will Prescribe You a Cat, Syou Ishida

Looks like you’ve had some great reading, Stephen. Love the funny titles you selected. Some of these had me laughing like crazy. Thanks for sharing.
These are brilliant. “Cinderella Ate My Daughter” is a particular stand out 😂
I read that How I Killed Pluto book. It was super interesting.
Yes! Enjoyed seeing how modern astronomy is “done” these days.
I want the Buckley book. I’ve read several of his so I’m 99% sure I’ll like it.
Pris cilla King
War, The Summer Before War, and Congress… just a bit of light reading to offset current events, eh? 😀
Well, it’s not Svetlana Alexievich….XD
There’s a lot of great funny titles there, I always giggle a bit when I see We Will Prescribe You A Cat and also because the cover is cute! And I’m Curious about Cinderella Ate My Daughter.
It’s dated now, I think…it was about the takeover of girlhood by princess culture. I don’t know if that’s still a thing these days.
Ah yeah, it does seem like it’s very 90’s or early 2000s focused from the GoodReads reviews. Well at least it has a funny title going for it , lol
