Currently re-reading American Gods by Gaiman

like

The laws of human nature :)

A couple of titles (I have a terrible habit of reading multiple books at once!) including Writing to Change the World by Mary Pipher, Technopoly by Neil Postman amd Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk and Eco-speculation.

I'm about halfway through "How to Fail at Almost Anything and Still Win Big" by Scott Adams. I had no idea when I started reading it that he is also the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, which I love. So far, I love it. Informative but funny. Highly recommended.

David Hawkins is my favorite author at the moment. I've read three books by him so far this year. My current is called "Letting Go"

Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason. Can't decide how I feel about that at the moment

Women Don't Owe You Pretty by Florence Given. It's been collecting dust in my bookshelf so I had to bust it out. I'm loving it so far.

I recently finished Upgrade by Blake Crouch. I highly recommend it. Apocalyptic gene war story, but also really thought provoking. As in, I'm still thinking about it two weeks later.
Another one I finished a couple of months ago that I also highly recommend: The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin. At the core, it's about humans relating to one another, and also has some mystery running through it.

I just finished reading Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Now I'm kind of thinking about reading Mindset by Carol Dweck. Both are about life and our thinking.
