    I just finished The Adventure’s Son by Roman Dial. I really enjoyed it. Even though I knew what happened at the end it was still enjoyable.

      I've completed another reading of The Lord of the Rings and I'm now on to the first book in the Mistborn series. This is going to be a long ride.

        I got started with Brandon Sanderson's work with Elantris and I thought it was a pretty interesting world he created. When I realized that it was only the first book in the Cosmere universe, I just had to keep digging. I'm really liking his style.

        After the first three mistborn, go for Warbreaker and Stormlight Archive. Gotta do Warbreaker before Stormlight 2, then the Edgedancer novella before SA 3, and the Dawnshard novella before SA 4. Also a good idea to tackle White Sand (3 volume graphic novel) and Sixth of the Dusk (novella) before getting too far in Stormlight. But absolutely save mistborn era 2 and especially mistborn secret history for the end. Incredible series.

        Diomedes Thanks for the recommendations! I'll be sure to read these in the proper order. I'm really liking this book so far. Sanderson really is a great author.

            "Godel, Escher, Bach: an eternal golden braid" by Douglas R. Hofstadter.
            Basically recursive axiomatic systems. What Escher portrayed visually (two hands each drawing the other) is similar to what Bach did musically with crab canons (which can be played the same forward & backward) and what Kurt Godel did with thinking about thought.

            Also re-reading "Imaginary Magnitudes" by Stanislaw Lem. A Polish author often listed as sci-fi but much like H.G. Wells, more of a social commentator in the guise of fiction.

                A few weeks ago I finished American Buffalo by Steven Rinella. I liked the mix of hunting story and history.

                I just finished The Revenant. The book was way better than the movie. His journey from when he was left to when he finally found Fitzgerald was way more exciting and interesting in the book. I get that they wanted the dramatic vengeance ending of Hugh killing Fitzgerald and they could’ve kept that and had by having him die after being shot in the court room.

                  I finished Frozen In Time by Mitchell Zuckoff. It was an excellent book and worth reading. If you are into history or military history check it out.

                    I finished the first book in the Mistborn series yesterday and now I’m on to the second. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys reading stories with a rich backstory and an immersive world.

                        Just finished “the heroin diaries” by Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue. Pretty awesome, very candid look at his life. He started keeping a diary randomly while super famous and on/off of heroin. You can tell there was never any intention to publish it when it was written, but he did (with commentary from people in his life at the time) a few years ago. Might not be for everyone, and he gets a little preachy in his intro/closing words, but I really liked it.

                        got halfway through “Hamilton” as my car ride audio book before the loan expired. Maybe I’ll re borrow, but man that was a detailed history class.

                          I just finished the Icewind Dale trilogy again, absolutely on a R A Salvatore kick after I found out he lives across town from me.

                          Up Next is RA Salvatore's non cannon star wars entry with Vector Prime
