Currently I'm reading the fifth part of Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
Something I never did and hate the thought of it, an Oprah’s best book. American Dirt, the title intrigued me, it was good, put a never thought of ,slant to me on immigrants trying to cross the border. Still think they need to leagally come to US.
Wilderness of the North Pacific Coast Islands by Charles Sheldon. A good writer, and a hell of a woodsman.
The Way of the Traitor (Sano Ichiro, #3) - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/463989.The_Way_of_the_Traitor . Working my way through the Sano Ichiro novels by Laura John Rowland. They follow a mid 17th century Samurai detective whose curiosity and need to find the truth often interferes with the Samurai code of honor. The historical accuracy of the period which this is set is probably my favorite part of this series so far. Aside from the obviously fictitious characters, the representations of the actual historical figures of the time and the very detailed way she writes about the geography of Japan is fantastic.
I am re-reading "The Terror" by Dan Simmons.
I plan shortly, well, before the end of the year and when I finish the current thing, to build the scale reproduction of the ship and it is never too much to reread a good novel.

Re-reading The Hunt For Red October after watching the absolutely atrocious "Without Remorse" movie. What a mess. I needed to remember why Clancy was so good at what he did.
Just finished this, ending oddly.
Reading Kings new "Later", just started it.
Have this one tee'd up for next week - heading to the beach at St. Croix, and I love a surf novel.

So far, an excellent story. So many of Bryce's books are similar in the story, characters, or just retell the same story that is in one of his other books. This one seems very unique, or else I just haven't read any of his books that cross over this one.
Yep. Clancy was the master of his milieu. When Red Storm Rising came out I started reading it and never put it down. That was quite a session.Re-reading The Hunt For Red October after watching the absolutely atrocious "Without Remorse" movie. What a mess. I needed to remember why Clancy was so good at what he did.
Now re-reading Asimov’s Foundation series.
I’ve read a few mediocre non-fiction since my last post (mostly related to work), but I did enjoy the most recent at-home read “Five Billion Years of Solitude” by Lee Billings. It’s a nice history of SETI, space observatories, and space exploration built heavily upon Drake’s Equation concerning the possibilities of extraterrestrial life and our ability to actually observe and understand it (if we’re around at the same time at all).
The limited extent of my physics knowledge lies in the videogame Kerbal Space Program, but this was an accessible read on exoplanets and deep time.

Last night I just finished some light reading. A jaunty short story called Covenant by James Michener. Tonight I start Hopscotch by Brian Garfield. I love the movie, it's time to read the book.
