to learn with love: a companion for suzuki parents
status: a quarter note from the end. ;)
why: stepping stones in my quest to become a suzuki method piano teacher. and suzuki educational philosophy is brilliant. (other musicians: don't dis it til you've studied it.)

urban spacemen and wayfaring strangers: overlooked innovators and eccentric visionaries of '60s rock
status: halfway through the introduction.
why: '60s rock ... well ... rocks!

home comforts: the art and science of keeping house
status: about 150 pages into its voluminous contents
why: my mother-in-law sent me this wonderful resource when we were first married. i used it a handful of times as a reference (what's the right way to clean blinds?), but never attempted to read straight through 896 pages of housekeeping advice. (that's like a whole harry potter book!) i am now though, having come to a point of realization that i suck at housework, and don't want to always suck at housework.

dmt: the spirit molecule
status: several chapters.
why: uh ... because the next best thing to doing psychedelic drugs is reading analyses of scientific studies on them?
-kidding
because the human brain is just about the coolest thing ever, and we're learning some pretty trippy stuff about it.

bono: in conversation with michka assayas
status: 3/4 through
why: cuz i loves me some antiquated, self-aggrandizing, ostentatious rock stars! oh, and i wanted to understand one of the most brilliant musical and political minds of the past 50 years. that too.

if this list feels incoherent, then so do i.
happy wednesday!
