[e-b-reads]

@bigcats-birds-and-books tagged me to post some books I want to finish before the end of the year, and @wearethekat tagged me to post some I want to read next year! Since I generally am not planning super far ahead on my own reading, and I have no books I feel I must finish by Dec 31, I'm doing a combo list! Here's some stuff I want to read next (with "next" meaning probably sometime within the next couple months).

The Alpine Zen, by Mary Daheim - For the end of November and the beginning of December, I was just binge-reading a 26-book (it's alphabetical) mysteries series on Libby. It's not a perfect series, but it's good enough that I was sucked in, and I have more time for reading this time of year. Unfortunately, my county's Libby doesn't have the last book in the series!!! Luckily, I was already starting to get less invested by book 24 or so, but I sure would like to see how it wraps up. So putting a pin in this one.

To Live and Die in Dixie, by Kathy Hogan Trocheck - While suffering withdrawal from the above series, I've been poking around looking for a new (maybe shorter) mystery series to distract me. This is book 2 in a promising one. When I say I will read this next, I really mean it - I'll probably be reading it tomorrow.

Conrad's Fate and The Pinhoe Egg, by Diana Wynne Jones - I was doing a spur-of-the-moment reread of the Chrestomanci series this fall, and stopped at these two, so I'd like to pick them back up and finish the reread so I can make more posts about it!

The Signal and the Noise, by Nate Silver - This is a book I need to just grit my teeth and finish - nonfiction, interesting in some ways, I think Nate Silver is smart but that doesn't mean I always agree with how he thinks about things. I got further this time than the last time I tried to read this book several years ago, but I haven't picked it up in like a month or two.

Braiding Sweetgrass, by Robin Wall Kimmerer - This probably is a 2025 book, because I asked for it for Christmas and I think it will be a good book to read slowly in between other things! So assuming my parents follow through and I receive it...

I also have this urge to read The Odyssey, probably the Emily Wilson translation, but my library copy keeps coming due before I get very far. So that may be an eventual 2025 project and/or purchase.

I have not been poking around the most recent posts on tumblr in a minute, and also I combined tag things here, so I'm just going to take the route of saying: if you want to make a list like this, please do! and tag me in it! open invite!

Sister Mary

Diane Keaton, need I say more?

Nate Ford (Leverage)

He literally went to priest school because he wanted so badly not to be like his criminal father and then ended up becoming a smarter, more righteous criminal after corporate freed let his son die. Also he's plagued by Catholic guilt.

His dad was a criminal. He was going to be a priest but then he just became super law-abiding as a rebellion instead. But then his son died and he went HARD into crimes (but it's totally fine because it's helping people so he's allowed to do crimes!!!!) A recovering alcoholic who lives above a bar. (Another character literally goes "that's very ... catholic of you.") Then he's a very much NOT recovered alcoholic who lives over a bar. Spends all 5 seasons attempting to fist-fight God. (Someone tells him "God helps those who help themselves" and Nate says "And we help those who can't.") My headcanon is that he doesn't identify as catholic but he does believe in everything the Catholic Church teaches. He's just like, "Yeah it's TRUE but i don't personally agree with it so no thank you."

he was in seminary school but dropped out to become an insurance investigator (fake job) and I'm pretty sure he spends a lot of the first season convinced he's going to hell

North Carolina—and Iowa?

by Mary L. Trump

Excerpts:

On Saturday night, Ann Selzer, a pollster with a stellar reputation who specializes in the state [of Iowa], released a poll that has Kamala Harris up by 3 points.

Here is the history of Selzer’s polls since 2012. The actual election results are in parentheses:

2022 Senate: R+12 (R+12)

2020 President: R+7 (R+8)

2020 Senate: R+4 (R+7)

2018 Governor: D+2 (R+3)

2016 President: R+7 (R+9)

2014 Senate: R+7 (R+8)

2012 President: D+5 (D+6)

The result shocked the political world. It also reminded us that the Supreme Court’s Dobb’s decision continues to have serious electoral consequences for the party that is determined to turn women into second-class citizens.

Iowa has one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the country. Beyond that, the state has been losing OB-GYNs since before Roe v Wade was overturned. And, in the wake of the decision, it’s been losing medical providers of all specialties.

.

In response to Selzer’s poll, Nate Silver, another pollster, that it was “incredibly gutsy to release this poll.”

Cohn recently admitted that “it is much safer, whether in terms of literal self-interest or purely psychologically, to find a close race than to gamble on a clear Harris victory.”

“When their results come in very blue, they don’t believe it,” Cohn wrote. “And frankly, I share that feeling: If our final Pennsylvania poll comes in at Harris +7, why would I believe it? As a result, pollsters are more willing to take steps to produce more Republican-leaning results.”

These comments are staggering:

Cohn and Silver see a close race because they want to see a close race.

This morning, The New York Times ceded the most valuable real estate on its front page to Nate Cohn, and ran his piece with this headline:

“Some Surprises in Last Battleground Polls, but Still a Deadlock”

And so it goes.
