Istanbul: Memories and the City by Orhan Pamuk
(and [not] oddly enough, while I enjoy the book, I find myself spending much of my time musing on the authors' mbti type - as it's a memoir of sorts.I'm thinking INFP at the moment.)

OOH! Well, I was reading Glass by Ellen Hopkins. It didn't take long to read, sadly. Wish I could have savored it longer.
I like those types of books, they're crazy and I love it.

I don't read often (I really need to) but I read 'Into The Wild' recently. I enjoyed it.

Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON
It contains a ton of his journal writings, along with a bunch of his essays and poems. I've only barely gotten started, but it's still really thoughtful stuff.Still using a needle to break apart a grain of sand.
