    Currently on a roll with reading books involving the Pacific Ocean.

    Finished;
    ”The Wide Wide Sea” by Hampton Sides, this is about Captain Cooks last voyage. I recommend it, excellent read.
    ”In the Heart of the Sea” by Nathaniel Philbrick, this is the real life inspiration to Moby Dick. Another recommendation and excellent read.

      Just finished Bill Brysons: The Body: A Guide for Occupants

      Great book and his stuff is top notch. Great way to further your education and also be entertained. His "A short history of nearly everything" is also a must read and should be read by everyone to fill in the gaps of what you didn't learn in school.

      Right now I'm reading Joshua Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World about his voyage in 1900. I absolutely love old books and would enjoy and recommendations folks might have.

        Without knowing what your interests are, I can recommend some of the older titles I really enjoyed. "The Sea Wolf" by Jack London, "The Ballad of the White Horse" by G.K. Chesterton ( absolutely outstanding poem), "The House of the Wolfings" - William Morris.

        Wisdom and Destiny by Maurice Maeterlinck (1898). Public domain files for the book can be found here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4349 . I lost my physical copy long ago.

      Almost finished with "The Forty Days of Musa Dagh" By Franz Werfel. Its historical fiction focusing on an really interesting event which occurred during the Armenian Genocide in which the Armenian villages took up arms and fought rather than face certain death through deportation. Thus far, its been excellent.
      They shall come mild as monkish clerks,
      With many a scroll and pen.
      And backwards shall ye turn and gaze,
      Desiring one of Alfred's days,
      When pagans still were men. - The Ballad of the White Horse - Chesterton.

        Just finished Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind not too long ago. A weird and dark book, but none the less, very interesting and captivating. "Scentless Apprentice" by Nirvana apparently is based off of this book. I definitely would recommend the read. Im planning to start The Castle by Franz Kafka this week.

            "Rngworld" - Larry Niven I guess this might be my 4th or 5th down this rabbit hole.

                Dracula. If you enjoy horror and you've never read the classics I highly recommend

                  Mary Shelly's "The Modern Day Prometheus" [Frankenstein] is another great classic read.

                "The Ship Beneath the Ice" by Mensun Bound. I read "Endurance" so it was fitting to read the story of finding the ship.

                  "the Elric of Melnibone' Saga" - Michael Moorcock

                  It has been ages since I read any of the Eternal Champion stories.

                    The Village - Bing West. Seemed fitting after bingeing Call Sign Chaos on audiobook for some long drives.

                          Just got done with that one myself last month, always like Larry Niven

                        I got most of the way through "River of the Gods" by Candice Millard and stopped. I didn't like.

                            What'd you think? The Netflix series lost me after a couple episodes but i don't know if that was the author, or the director.

                            Loved the book and second one is shaping up to be great as well. Smart scifi but was admittedly a little slow to engage on the first. Hits a point and then I was locked in. Plan is to check out the show after the books but not surprised at all if it lost you. The books can be a bit hard to follow at times, but I was also reading in spurts every couple weeks. Would be hard to adapt to the screen.

                            The show more felt like it devolved from mystery to "cupcake" sci fi to YA drama pretty quickly. I was hoping the book might be better. I'll check it out.
