          “Wild Child and other stories” - T.C. Boyle. Been reading some chonker books lately so sitting down for a short story or two has been nice change of pace.

              I'm just getting into "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self" by Carl Trueman. How we got from there to here, as a society.

                  "fear the sky"

                  Pretty good so far, decent plot, good characters. If anyone wants a decent sci-fi give it a shot

                      That’s a good one. If you liked it, his others are great as well.

                      Very nice. That one may be my favorite. Also a good movie to watch once you’re done with the book.

                        "Four Against the Arctic" by David Roberts. I don't know if I'd recommend it. It seemed like it was going to be a great story but I thought it was a letdown. I don't know if it was the author or the narrator of the audio book but I wasn't into it after about halfway through. I finished it because I was already halfway through but it was just eh.

                          "Into The Wild" by John Krakauer. Both were good but I liked this more than "Into Thin Air"

                            "Stranger in a Strange Land" the version released after Heinlein's death, that his widow made sure had all the edited out sections restored to it. nearly half way in and its pretty good
