And on to to the new...
In fiction, Jill has chosen [[Taurus by Joseph Smith]] Beautiful and cruel, ancient and new, it expands on Smith's previous novella, [[The Wolf by Joseph Smith|The Wolf]] by adding more human cruelty into the mix. As a bull gradually awakens into its true self, its appointment with the corrida grows ever closer. It's a stunning but uncomfortable read and one Jill feels absolutely privileged to have read.
In non-fiction, Zoe loved [[How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like by Paul Bloom]]. What we like and why we like it is the theme of this entertaining and enjoyable book that you don't need a degree in psychology to understand. It is wonderfully witty, extremely entertaining, thoroughly thought-proving and remarkably readable. And it's very healthy to think about things we love!
