Just started the audiobook for Mutiny on the Bounty by Nordhoff and Hall. Its excellent thus far.
Reading Our Lady of the Artilects by Andrew Gilsmith. Pretty enjoyable so far.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.Comment

"Killing the killers." Curious how Bill O'Reilly's account will compare to the "zero-dark-thirty" and "No easy day" retelling of the same incident.Comment

Jumped back into some comfortable fast food sci-fi in the 40k universe with "The Infinite and the Divine" By Robert Rath. Its been a more fun than I had anticipate. Highly recommended for 40k fans.
Also nearly finished reading "Sword of the Lictor" by Gene Wolfe again.They shall come mild as monkish clerks,

Working on Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein.
I did not know the movie was based on a book published in 1959.Comment

Definitely a good read in my opinion and helps give some context to some of the campiness in the movie. The movie I enjoyed (even though as typical takes a fair amount of liberties with the actual story line of the book) and the book fills in a lot of storyline gaps. Some of Robert Heinlein's books I like and some not so much but he was extremely prolific so plenty of choices.

Watched the 6 episode series recently and figured I needed to read the book. So far so good (5 chapters in).
