    Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. It is about Korean immigrants to Japan. I had never known the history and now a lot of things make sense to me.

    On my recent trip to MN, my SIL said she thought of me while reading "Tom Lake" by Ann Patchett, so I'm about to read that.

    I'm 80% through "Japanese Philosophy," by Blocker and Starling, a short, but very dense, history of Japanese thought from Jomon times through Buddhism and Confucianism entering via China, to confrontations with "Western" thought to the modern "post war" era. The book doesn't shy away from the ultra-nationalist era, either, and the aftermath after Japan's defeat in WWII. It's been an enlightening, challenging, and perspective-altering read so far. It covers an entire philosophical tradition I have not explored before, so very eye-opening.

    Thirst for Salt

    I don't usually read romances, but this one was not formulaic and I liked it.

    Ultra-Processed People about all the processed crap we are eating and how it is creating disease - especially the meteoric rise of gut ailments and diabetes. Written by a medical doctor and microbiologist. I became a crazy label reader after realizing that all the inorganic phosphates added to cat food most definitely contributed to his and many older cat's kidney disease. Guess what? The same krap is in Cheerios and a host of other cereals and snack foods. A very interesting read that might make you re-think what you are eating.
