3 book trilogy, very good!

I had no idea this was a book. I wasn't interested in watching the movie but the premise of the trailer seemed my type so I'll definitely be picking this up.

Getting through the Hainish novels from Le Guin at the moment (on the lighter side). I never finished it and have been meaning to revisit it for some time.

The other is a bit of a science classic. A book listing the cases of an English neurological professor from the '80s. It's pretty jargon-heavy and medical but remains fascinating reading on the human experience (and pushing the limits of that via several intriguing neurological cases). Some perceptive and beautiful observations and writing.

Not sure what that book’s about but whatever it is, I’m against it.

Just kidding.

Reading “A Patriot’s History of the United States” by Schweikert and Allen

Haven't read in months. Still have few books by the bed, but no urge to read. Just thumbing through few books on Japanese mold based fermentation.

I just finished reading a fascinating little novel called The Libary at Mount Char by a Scott Hawkins. I guess it's a crime/suspense/fantasy novel? Very gnostic and cult-ish in an interesting way.

Today I started reading Twain's Innocents Aboard. I'm a heavy reader but I guess having been exposed to him so much as a child I never thought to revisit Twain until this year but now, as an adult, I appreciate him so much.

Seriously considering exploring some of his titles and come up with a plan to determine which to read. I'm sure it would be enjoyable.

This was one of the best crime books I've read in quite a while, it was surprisingly great. A sequel to the Heat heist movie and a prequel.



I've read the Nick Mason Pink Floyd book, this one, from 2012, is better.

Reading Frederick Buechner's novel Brendan, and watching the mail for his Godric.

Reading Frederick Buechner's novel Brendan

I haven't read that myself, but I can already tell it is going to be fantastic

Feeling saintly, eh?

I'm reading Fire and Blood by George R. R. Martin. It's a fantasy historic account of the Targaryen kings from the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.

"Best Evidence" Michael Lifton

I just finished The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. It was an OK story, and at times I sort of lost interest, but at least the ending was just as drab as the rest of the book. Ha ha.

Fairy Tale by Stephen King, pretty intriguing so far, he can stretch out a premise.
Each chapter has an illustration, here is Chaper 5, and it's part of that storyline. He smokes Three Sails, which I don't believe was an OTC, so an odd choice for a name?

Re-reading Tom Clancy’s “Red Storm Rising”.

I read it all in one sitting when it came out. Not much time for sleep that night. A different world than when it came out in 1986. Or is it?

Do you mean David Lifton?

The Boy in Striped Pyjamas

It's good but man, depressing as all hell.
