I'm reading "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus", a classic type guys ^^
I have tried many ebook apps and found the Freebooks one on the Apknite site. There are more than 50,000s books in this app. Such a great treat for me. You guys can try it.

As I haven't read it yet, I wouldn't know but let's hope it's not.

That was a poor attempt at a joke😉

Just started a murder mystery, Patterson, Postcard murders and Orson Scott Card, Fathergate, fantasy, got it for 3 dollars at a book bin in Kmart.

Not bad. 🙂

It's one of these words that can cause confusion in Swedish/English.

Eowyn Ivey: "Mot den glittrande snön vid världens ände" (To the Bright Edge of the World):
I have just finished reading this amazing novel; it took some time to read and understand.
"In the winter of 1885, Lieutenant Colonel Allen Forrester sets out with his men on an expedition into the newly acquired territory of Alaska. Their objective: to travel up the ferocious Wolverine River, mapping the interior and gathering information on the region's potentially dangerous native tribes. With a young and newly pregnant wife at home, Forrester is anxious to complete the journey with all possible speed and return to her. But once the crew passes beyond the edge of the known world, there's no telling what awaits them..."

It was a journey for me too.

Endurance by Scott Kelly
More Fool Me by Stephen Fry
The Blank Slate by Stephen Pinker
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
Hexen Hexen by Roald Dahl (The Witches in German, but reading it very slowly 🙂 )

I have the same affliction, reading several books at the same time or putting one down
for a while to resume another. These are all books I am enjoying and plan to finish
eventually. Most are non-fiction. Why do you attribute it to OCD?

@HandyAndy

I suppose OCD is the wrong acronym and more like ADHD. Getting bored quickly and having a "change of scenery". Probably in the case of books, it is normal behaviour.
