What book are you reading?

[autococker04]

Hmm, A Sinister Splendor is going on the list.

Jaws, the book was good, the movie was good, recommend both.

homage to Catalonia - if you’re only gonna read one Spanish civil war book, make it For Whom the Bell Tolls, but if you’ve got time for two include homage to Catalonia. Both highlight how much of an unorganized clusterfuck that war was.

kitchen confidential - very interesting look at chef/restaurant management and the lifestyle that it becomes.

currently reading 100 years of solitude and gangsters of capitalism both are good.

Just finished A Sinister Splendor. It follows Taylor and Grant and others through the Mexican-American war. Written similarly to Gods and Generals.

About halfway through The Storm Before the Storm. About events leading up to the fall of the Roman Republic and paving the way to the Roman Empire.

Picked up and waiting to continue Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman. About the development of outdoor company Patagonia.

Wife dropped Dark Matter in front of me after she finished it. That is going to have to wait for a minute.

The expanse, again

I need to read that series… heard so many good things about it

The expanse, again

Listening on audiobooks really but they really have some good replayability. A lot of stuff didn't make sense the first time through but really comes into focus with a second read

Shadows Edge by Brent Weeks
absolutely phenomenally fun trilogy
encipher who becomes an assassin in a world with its own magic structure.

I'm almost finished with *It doesn't take a hero - General Schwarzkopf's autobiography, cool read. I enjoyed David Lee Roth's autobiography as well

I had read Iain M Banks 'Against a Dark Background' some years ago and really liked the author's style, and because of a youtube tangent regarding fictional megastructures in space I decided to start in to his 'Culture' series of books after Christmas . . . had to spend those amazon gift cards on something.

I finished "Consider Phlebas" in about a week, and I started on "The Player of Games" this past weekend, and am about a quarter way through it.

if you like big scope space opera, you might want to check it out

Just finished “Meet You in Hell” about the cooperation/ rivalry between Andrew Carnegie and Henry Frick. Might be the home-town brain, but I thought it was awesome. Mostly centered around the causes and effects of the “Battle of Homestead” between Carnegies steel company and the union striking against it.

it was crazy to me the names of the people involved - JP Morgan, Thomas Mellon, Henry Phipps, and other huge names of industry all had their hands in the same pot.

Rare that I really recommend anything, but this one was really good if you even have a slight interest in the topic.

I finished this the other day and really enjoyed it. I've heard of all the people but didn't know the stories behind the names. Excellent book and I'd also recommend it.

Im back on a zombie kick. Just finished the Newsflesh series by Mira Grant it’s my 2nd time reading it. Right now I’m about halfway through Last Man Standing: The Complete Trilogy. I grabbed some wacky conspiracy theory book someone recommended but I haven’t dug in it yet to far. It’s a lil out there even for me lol.

I finished The Windup Girl last night. It was a very fun book. I'm debating whether or not I should read House of Leaves or finally dive into some Brandon Sanderson with The Way of Kings.

I’m on the 2nd book in the Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty (City of Brass, now Kingdom of Copper)

Started reading The Map of Time by Felix J. Palma.
