What are you reading in 2025?

My wife gave me this book for Christmas (Circe, by Madaline Miller). It's a really interesting take on the Greek Circe, her background and life outside of the Odyssey, with a bit of a feminist twist. So far I enjoy it. I typically enjoy stories like this, however. For example, I've long held that Medusa got a bad rap all this time, so seeing a rewrite of inherently misogynistic mythology is something I like reading.

Circe is a phenomenal read. I really need to get around to The Song of Achilles some time.

This is a great book. I read it before Song of Achilles, and the latter is also great.

+1. Loved both Circe and Song of Achilles. I also recommend Ariadne: A Novel by Jennifer Saint

A new year means new books!

I’ll start us off with a copy of Drs. Morris Weiss and W. Paul McKinney’s folio from the year 2000 that I very recently polished off, The Traveler’s Vest Pocket Medical Guide.

I picked this up a while back for a family member who was contemplating doing some traveling, but when their plans fell through, I ended up keeping it. I came across it the other day and, on a whim, put it into my reading pile. I figured that, while I’m not planning on visiting any foreign countries in the near future, it was still good to peruse just to know the information...
