Made it through Fahrenheit 451 and 1/2 way through Brave New World.
Enjoyed the former, and enjoying the latter thus far.

Audiobooks are
That's how I'm "reading" Treasure Island.

nice!


I started Origins and my hold for Artemis came through. I got to gets to readin.

Finished both Origins and Artemis.

Fan-fucking-tastic books. Origins Was a typical cant put it down Robert Langdon thriller. He makes amazing stories based of real, amazing places.


Artemis was also great, in4 moonbasses. More of a caper / mystery than The Martian was, but still lots of sci fi problem solving. I was entertained.

Brave New World is one of my favorite books ever. Did you finish it and if so, thoughts?

I just started Girl Code but don't expect much interest here.

I haven't finished it since my Austin trip.
But, the caste system, it's so fucking British.

I'm 5/7 interested in Artemis.

Added Artemis to my want to read list. Working my way through I Wear the Black Hat; it is not what I thought it would be, but I am enjoying it. He went on about the Clinton - Lewinsky scandal for longer than I cared for though.

Plowed through the first 2 books of the Aliomenti series by Alex Albrinck. Then, I hit a wall in the third and took a little break. It just seemed like too much recapping. After the break, I plowed through the remainder.

Started the fourth the other night.

People have learned to harness the Energy inside you to do "magical" things. Think of it like those theories that people only use 10% of their brains/imagine what people could do with full capacity/etc. There's a bit more to it than that, obviously, but I don't want to give it away.

Generally, they've been pretty good, quick reads that other fantasy/sci-fi fans would like.

Ready Player One. /bread

Sounds like something I would like.

I hate the “we only use 10% of our brains” nonsense though.

ok, i got on the waitlist for ready player one.


I read and finished
Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting
5/7, will apply things, hope they work. Recommend for all parents.


I read and finished
A Rock and a Hard Place (Star Trek: The Next Generation, #10) Pretty good, easy read.

up next is
Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams
Then I'll watch on the amazon

Will also start listening to
Mission to Mars: My Vision for Space Exploration
by Buzz Aldrin
Mostly because Rogan is slacking on dem podcasts

Started reading Scythe. It’s pretty awesome. Takes place in a uproot-like world where humanity has defeated much of its challenges including death. There is no crime, no poverty, no suffering. There are Scythes that are selected to kill people honorably to keep the population under control. So, they select people based on statistics from the “Age of Mortality”c (I.e if one out of every 100,000 people will die in a car accident, then one person at random that is driving in a car will be selected to get “gleaned”. The concept is 5/7 better than I describe it.

Story folllws two teens that get selected to be part of the Scythes. That’s how far I got so far

2/3 of the way through the 7th of the series. 5 and 6 were fantastic. This one is really good as well - closing up loops and explaining a bunch of stuff.
