Friday Reads: Memorial Day weekend edition

I'm not reading these books at this exact moment, because it's the Friday afternoon before a three-day holiday weekend, and I'm plugging away at all the extra work it requires just to be off on Monday (an odd concept — work extra so you can take time "off").

But these are the books I've been reading the past couple of weeks. I don't generally having five books going at once. Three is my preferred number. But this is just how it worked out. The titles:

• Cascadia's Fault: The Coming Earthquake and Tsunami That Could Devastate North America, by Jerry Thompson
• Hippie Food: How Back-to-the-Landers, Longhairs, and Revolutionaries Changed the Way We Eat, by Jonathan Kauffman
• Lost Children Archive, a novel by Valeria Luiselli
• Supernatural in Cornwall, by Michael Williams (one of the spooky books I inherited from Mom)
• Monkey Food: The Complete "I Was Seven in '75" Collection, by Ellen Forney (graphic memoir)

Hoping to finish two and make meaningful progress on a couple others this weekend.
