Finished listening to A Private Cathedral, by James Lee Burke, the 24th novel in the Dave Robicheaux series. Too much supernatural BS; not much original here anymore.
Started listening to The Quiet Americans: Four CIA Spies at the Dawn of the Cold War--a Tragedy in Three Acts, by Scott Anderson.

I’m reading How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell (Great book so far and spot on about how we’re too addicted and connected to tech and media and how essential doing nothing really is).

just finished Let Him Go by Larry Watson. Watson is a wordsmith and that book made my top ten list just for his craftiness with storytelling and language. The book is set in Montana and North Dakota. I’ve never been to either state but it made me want to go there and wander on my bike. He’s become one of my favorite authors. I grew up in the southwest and he really captures the spirit of the small town and the west.

I am currently exploring the content on financial freedom at this moment. Reading several books on that topic.

I will give a line-up of the books that I have covered during the past sometime. They are-
1) Rich Dad Poor Dad
2) The Millionaire Fastlane
3) The Richest Man in Babylon
4) The Millionaire NextDoor

Also, I am planning to get some more books in a couple of days. Will plan to search about in a while.

Happy Reading..!

Finished reading, Faster: How a Jewish Driver, an American Heiress, and a Legendary Car Beat Hitler’s Best, by Neal Bascomb. The title tells it all; a very good read about Grand Prix racing prior to WW2.

Started reading, Dereliction of Duty: Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam. by H. R. McMaster.

I just finished IT WAS ALL A LIE by Stuart Stevens. My wife asked the local library to buy it and they did. 3 people were in line to check it out after me.

I learned much.

I guess we know where your political views lie. Geez, I come to this site to escape all the bull****. I think there's a specific place to put this kind of innuendo. Thanks for nothing.

>>> Sorry to tug your sensitivity string, if you prefer relevant fiction try CATCH 22 and consider that the guise & pall of a cultural psych is the stuff of worthwhile reading................... if you want pure jingo escapism Zane Grey or Louis L'Amour are well worth a quick reads and if you want to intellectually fantasize you can try Gravity's Rainbow by Pynchon however a lot of NON FICTION books referenced here are by nature politically or socially or culturally premised

Haha!! I do appreciate your humor. Actually I do prefer historical biographies. I finished The People's Tycoon about Henry Ford and I'm now in the middle of reading Terry Wright's biography Patton, Montromery, Rommel: Masters of War. I'd recommend either book. I did re-read Louis L'Amour's How The West Was Won for a little fluff. Maybe my wording was harsh, for which I apologize. I prefer to leave politics at the door when I'm at this site.

don't worry my alternative me has many many more rejections than "acceptions" but keep your eyes peeled in American Poetry Review & the lesser pubs and you may find a Jack Pot

This was one of Stephen King’s better books, I think, I just wasn’t aware of it until recently. (Published around 2013). I was also unaware of this series of books, which has several other great writers, obviously. 🙂
