"People of the Lie", a psychologist's book about people for whom the best diagnosis is not a DSM entry but instead the word "evil".

I normally have several at once. Just.finsihed The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and found it delightful. Also has me re evaluating if I like romances or not.
Watched the movie so I could read a 7+ volume novel with a black man as the lead and am already halfway through The Dark Tower: Gunslinger. Really enjoying it. Also on kindle: Deadline by Stefanie Ahn. Read it. It moves quickly and just like Frankenstein is also written by a 19 year-old. It's a lesbian mystery novel. The genre is small and this is billed more as an urban fantasy as the Korean-American lead is also a witch. I'm not sure the extent of its Own Voice-ness but I'd be surprised if the East Asian author is not attracted to women and the way its written suggests she is pagan as well.
What I like is 2 chapters in I feel like I am reading about someone like me and who I would date. I read a lpt of scifi and fantasy which sadly often means low amounts of gay. It's also why I only deviate from Doctor Who for other inclusive fare. Because I think knowing a universe and character accepts you is important as well as the works in that Universe that show why.
I'm also actively reading Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who. I'm normally reading a dozen short story collection all at once but this one has me keeping a tight eye on it as every story is loosely based on real scientific concepts and then there is a discussion and elucidation of those concepts afterwards.I'm also reading "Lives of Dax" which is a lot of fun especially considering it does what Doctor Who does at least once a year.(A story anthology with multiple incarnations)
LeeC:
I'm nearly halfway through War and Peace. Its good, but long. If a typical novel was to an hour and a half movie; War and Peace would be to a 10 season series from HBO, with each episode being an hour a piece, with 10 episodes a season. Its gripping and interesting with a bunch of colorful characters. Arguably there are 4 main characters: Pierre (the intellectual), Andrei (the noble), Nikolay (the hussar), and Natasha (the wild one) with many fun supporting characters and ancillary ones. All go through interesting turmoils both societal and emotional during Napoleonic era Russia.
JoeCovenant:
Shade of the Tree by Piers Anthony.
I love his Xanth series (to a point) and quite enjoyed his Sci-Fi output.
But this one is a straight up 'horror' novel.
And by god it's pretty dull.
