He is that guy.
I liked the book. I got about 80% through before it was due back at the library. The list interesting thing to me was the lens he used to summarize the development on international finances in the 1900’s. Worth reading just for the first 100 pages.
Just finished Bad Blood:Secrets and Lies in a Silicone Valley Startup.
WHOA!!!
WHOA!!!
Just read ‘Educated’...holy shit, what a great book.
Recently I read Blind Mans Bluff, about the submarine cold war between USA and Soviet Union. Fascinating stuff! I had no idea so many US and Soviet submarine collisions took place.
Now I am reading Blood Red Snow, the personal journal of a German machine gunner on the Eastern Front.

Science 'n shit
This book will make you hate one of the things in the title and it doesn't ryme with borkas.
Genesis, by Eduardo Galeano
You mean hate them more?
Just finished The Wind Through the Keyhole in the Dark Tower series. Digging the series so far.
Just got this shirt recently...definitely helps deliver the message whenever I'm in public places.
I read Blind Mans Bluff, and yeah, pretty startling to hear how closely those subs followed each other . Super like to hear your thoughts on the eastern front book.
Lamb is my favorite book. I've probably read it at least ten times. Makes me laugh every time!
Just finished a pair of books
Hilerman book was a Hillerman book. Pulpy mystery, but on the Rez. Somehow I'd never read this one.
This one was a lot more heady.
Great book; work sucks.

I am about half way through Blood Red Snow. I take it in short bursts because its graphic. Was reading about Soviet T-34 tanks and how they would sit on top of bunkers and spin in circles, churning up the ground to bury the infantry alive. All kinds of heavy stuff like that. Stalingrad wasnt a great place to be if you were German during that time. The author wrote the book 40 years after the war, when he found his journal notes. Its a combination of journal entries and him filling in the gaps with context and commentary. Fascinating stuff, I hadnt studied the Eastern Front really before this.
Picked this up at the local book hole last night per recommendation:
Pulpy sci-fi, just what the doctor ordered. Amusing thus far, in spite of the horrible synopsis on the back.

Molly Fisk, Listening to Winter
Come and Gone
And? Do you hate life now?
Just finished my fourth book this year. I haven't read this many books since the kids were born.
I thought about this book (which was a good read but left you unsatisfied...)

Who doesn't fantasize about running away from it all and disappearing into the woods...
... while hunting bears with paint guns loaded with glitter?
The Stranger in the Woods - Michael Finkel: Official Author Website
Many people dream of escaping modern life, but most will never act on it. This is the remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for twenty-seven years, making this dream a reality -- not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own.

Big fan of Jordan Petersons youtube stuff like debates etc even tho I dont necessarily agree with everything he says.
But I just could not get through this book...

Recently started this series, on my third book now and loving it.
I read stranger in the woods earlier this year. That took place not too far from where my family in Maine lives. As a kid I remember hearing stories of mysterious cabin break-ins like the one described in the book.I thought about this book (which was a good read but left you unsatisfied...)

Hey, I like books.
The Three-Body Problem trilogy - Liu Cixin - hugely imaginative scifi wherein we make contact with an extraterrestrial race, who decide we suck and want to kill us and move in and we have 400 years to get ready
Seven Blades in Black - Sam Sykes - rollocking fantasy novel about a pissed off ex-wizard with a magic gun, a sword named Jeff and a list of seven names whose whole shit she is about to fuck up.
next up for me is Wanderers by Chuck Wendig and The Fall by Neal Stephenson

I loved this book. Still need to read the second.
Caution: Bike content
Reality Hunger, a Manifesto, David Shields
Just as good the second time around.
will probably get audiobook....Caution: Bike content
Eh....
Not sure I'd recommend it actually. Not to give anything away, but it turns out the book is less about the ride then the authors self inflicted exestential meltdown
