Here's what I read last month. Only three titles, but the Roman history book was very long, so I did do as much reading as usual in May, it just doesn't look like it:
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald. I was really pleased to read this again after several decades, see my comments.
The New Roman Empire: A History of Byzantium, Anthony Kaldellis. excellent history book, one of the best I've read in awhile. Here is Kaldellis on the Crusades.
Every Tom, Dick & Harry, Elinor Lipman. I always enjoy her romantic comedies, this is her latest.
Posted on Facebook, here is what Mark K. Brown last month. Notice that he read Eric Wagner's book twice, a pretty good recommendation! Also, the Greg Bear really impressed me when I read it years ago:
Blood Music by Greg Bear 5/13
Straight Outta Dublin: James Joyce and Robert Anton Wilson by Eric Wagner (x2) 5/13
This is Your Brain on Music by Daniel J. Levitin 5/17
A Messiah at the End of Time by Michael Moorcock 5/19
Love and Death in the American Novel by Leslie Fiedler 5/22
The Botany of Desire by Michael Pollan 5/29

Thanks to both of you for reading my book. I hope to finish rereading Charles Rosen's "Sonata Forms" this week.
Thanks for the shout out. I do want to point out that these are books I finished last month. I may have started them months ago. I'm a fast reader but sometimes I spread myself a little thin, especially when reading one book twice.
My pleasure. Thanks for writing it. Now if we could just get one from Michael Johnson.
It’s been decades since I read Blood Music but I loved it at the time. A little bit of a synchronicity. I recently started reading Love and Death in the American Novel.
I loved Leslie Fiedler's book "The Stranger in Shakespeare".
I read and enjoyed This Is Your Brain on Music years ago. Stewart Copeland gave it to me after a project.
Last month I read: A Season in Hell by Arthur Rimbaud
Essays Critical and Clinical by Gilles Deleuze
Pledging My Time - Conversations with Bob Dylan Band Members by Ray Padgett
Scientific Healing Affirmations by Paramahansa Yogananda
In my TBR.
