As usual, you are invited to share in the comments what you read last month.
What Mark K. Brown read:
The Politics of Ecstasy by Timothy Leary 9/7
The Origins and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann 9/13
Little, Big by John Crowley 9/15
City of a Thousand Suns by Samuel R. Delany 9/18
The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell 9/21
Between Planets by Robert A. Heinlein 9/24
The Classical Style: Hayden Mozart Beethoven by Charles Rosen 9/29
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz 9/30
I asked Mark what he thought about the Crowley (I have been meaning to read John Crowley) and he wrote, "Excellent! I highly recommend it.
"It's funny. I had remembered it was really good, but not how good. It should appeal to many readers of your site."
I didn't do as well as Mark, but I did read five books:
Transmentation | Transgression: Or, a Spark on the Eve of the Five Hundred Year Burn (The Formation Saga Book 2), Darkly Lem.
A Cabinet of Byzantine Curiosities: Strange Tales and Surprising Facts from History's Most Orthodox Empire, Anthony Kaldellis
Trogs: A Second American Revolution (The Dust Mites Saga: A Second American Revolution), James Alton Bacon.
Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change, Jeffrey Foote and others.
Crossing: A Transgender Memoir, Deidre Nansen McCloskey,
Seems like I read a lot of science fiction and a lot of books about the Roman Empire.

knocking out Neumann's Origin and History in less than a week boggles my mind. (In between PoE and Little Big, followed shortly by Hero with). I'm speechless. That's like a year's worth of reading in a month.
I finished reading:
Joyce's Book of the Dark - Finnegans Wake by John Bishop
The Classical Style by Charles Rosen
I also read Bread of Angels by Patti Smith
We'll Be Here For the Rest of Our Lives: A Swingin' Show-biz Saga by Paul Shaffer

I forgot to include:
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
I didn't knock it out in less than a week. I'm usually reading two or three books at a time I just finished two a week or so apart. I mean I would live to take the credit...
I only finished "The Classical Style" last month.
