Out by Natsuo Kirino. I picked it up on a whim, and I have been surprisingly pleased so far.
While I hate watching reruns on TV, I have books that I read time and time again. I am currently reading Jubal Sackett by Louis L'amour. I have 6 other Sackett books I'll read next.
What an amazing man. One of my bucket list items is to set outside his cabin and smoke a bowl or two.
My wife and I are avid readers. I have several books and series that I've read multiple times. There are books I read as a teenager then re-read in my thirties and again in my mid fifties and found different meaning each time.
An amazing gent for sure. I used to Caribou hunt over there all the time. My father in law is a big fan as well and hasn’t been over there, so I’m taking him to Dick’s place this summer as soon as the ice is out so I can land there. Definitely planning on smoking a bowl haha.
Awesome! I'm jealous. Please take a photo or two dozen while you're there and post them here so I and others can live vicariously through you.
Hahaha, will do!
PS your bucket list item is not unfeasible. I think there are multiple air taxis that go out there. In fact I think one may even still be run by the Alsworth family. It’s probably not that expensive.
By the time I’m done paying for gas I’ll probably wish I had just taken one myself, hahaha.
Spending my day off in my flat in Greece and reading Tolkien's books now. I don't read often as I have a lot of work and other hobbies. But sometimes I need it while having a rest
Just finished The Machiavellians by James Burnham. Fascinating book about beginning a real science of politics, rather than ideology.
Just started The Cave and the Light by Arthur Herman, about the roots of Western Civilization in the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle.

Hahaha. I've read Cryptonomicon and REAMDE. I found both enjoyable but not totally "my thing". REAMDE was sort of Crichton-esque which I enjoyed. I picked up Seveneves cheap at a used book store in Hawaii recently. How are you finding it so far?
Which one is his pile of anticlimactic toilet paper? haha.
I like his books. But his last one sucked big time. "Fall or Dodge in Hell." It was slow to start and felt he rushed the ending. "Cryptonomicon" and "REAMDE" were good. So were his "Snowcrash" and trilogy.
