Have not. But will add it.  I agree.  I like a lot about the style of writing of that era. Not just NYC. I love a lot of the LA Noir from that time frame too.

Recommended by a friend. Good if you’re doing the middle aged get your shit right for a run into old age thing, although I feel like you could find a podcast Ted talk or something and get a cliffs notes of his argument and be fine

enjoyed muchly. Serves as an intro to stoicism as well as some personal history on Marcus Aurelius. I’ve realized how much of what I’ve connected with in recovery is simply stoicism, and am highly interested in any other recommended books on the subject. Or commentary on if the source material will be too dense to get use out of as an audiobook as I hike around.

Reading this for my first class of the fall semester. Larson put together quite a narrative with this one of that first year for Churchill as prime minister. So much was going on around him with his family as well as his advisers and ministers. Can’t believe this was happening 85 years ago.IMG_4216.thumb.webp.181e28b309bb76e45ca50e1218dcdff9.webp

^ Four chapters in and it’s very disturbing.

One of the most hideous and appalling things that happened during the entirety of the 14 years of the Pacific War. The things human beings are capable of in a situation such as that are just breathtakingly horrific.

The Libby app is pretty good for those of us trying to duck yet another subscription cost.

Pretty large non-fiction audiobook library. They allow 30 holds and 30 loans.

At least in Houston, the Harris County digital collection is far superior to that of the city. 

All this. Libby and Unlimited save us hundreds on the books my daughter reads alone. 

Anyway...

I just finished, recently released, book 10 of this series:

GREAT action scenes. But this is the first one of the series where I really felt the guy needed an editor.

Styx is SUCH a fun character, and her character and the fast pacing make up for many flaws.

Currently reading this...

It's Pargin... quirky fun horror shit.

When done with that, I'm going to read...

The first book was really quite good; survival horror/military SF.
