Tova:
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
Is it cold in here?:
"The Maximum Security Book Club", by a volunteer who led literature discussions in a men's prison.
Murderers mulling Macbeth. Convicts consuming Conrad.
The author is thoughtful and she appreciates and preserves the ambiguity of life. The men she discussed the books with considered that wishy-washy and were proud of having firm opinions. She was opinionated enough and bold enough to reply with "and look where that got you". I wouldn't have tried that while outnumbered by people to whom respect is desperately important.

The theatre I work at is doing a show about Janis Joplin, which has made me more interested in her life. So I ordered a copy of Love, Janis, a biography written by her sister Laura, and I'm going to start it on Monday once the show ends and I have some extra time.
sitnspin:
Currently reading "The Demon Haunted World: Science As A Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan.
Thrillho:
One Way by Mark Iliff, which is only available as an ebook. It's as realistic as possible an account of being sent on a one-way colonisation to Mars as part of a crew of four, written in the style of a diary by one of the crew members.
I am finding it gripping.
