What are you reading or what have you read lately?

Schrodinger was onto something.

Edit: what a crazy 5 minute rabbit hole I just went down... Quantum physics is wild.

 

Or a tale with all of the endings and none of the endings, at the same time...

 

Yeah. That stuff is real and I'm in here like, what is the largest tire I can fit without rubbing???

 

It only rubs if you observe it rubbing.

 

Started Armageddon by Travis Bagwell. The latest installment in his Awaken Online series. The last book, Happy was excellent, and this one so far seems pretty interesting.
If you like LitRPG books, this series is written by a psychologist, so it has a lot of fun stuff, but a lot of interesting psychology in it too. Basically you can follow the characters and see how the game changes them mentally over time. One of my top 3 series.

 

Nothing to Lose by Lee Child (Jack Reacher)

 

There Will Be War vol 2 edited by Jerry Pournelle
Sharpe's Enemy by Cornwell
Watership Down by Richard Adams

 

Finished the latest book in the Awaken Online series by Travis Bagwell, Armageddon. Oh man, that was great. I couldn't put it down at the end. 11/10
Every couple of books I'm like "Damn this is my favorite book in the series" then he drops another awesome read and I'm left wondering which to choose between for the #1 spot again.

 

The Midnight Line by Lee Child

Thought I had read this one but it turns out I haven't. Unfortunately, I think it might be the last good one in the series.

 

Sharpe's Revenge

 

Almost finished reading this book. Very interesting one, the setting in Nigeria around the turn of the 19th century; it allows the main character's life to straddle the pre- and post-European imperial era.

 

Strata by Terry Pratchett

 

Orphans of the Sky by Robert A Heinlein

 

The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett

 

Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson

 

Just picked up "The Thin Man" and "The Maltese Falcon" by Dashiell Hammett. I love the movies and pretty much have them memorized, it will be interesting to compare them to the original stories.

 

Don Quixote

 

I read anything about cars and the Civil War.
I am also a big fan of Neil Peart (Rush) and read what ever I can that he has written.
Ghost Rider was excellent and I think it should be read by anyone who has lost everything and trying to find a reason to go on.
Neil went on a motorcycle journey hoping to find himself after loosing his wife and daughter the same year.
I always loved his lyrics that he wrote for the songs he did with Rush. As a teenager in the 1970s I couldnt wait to read the lyrics inside the album covers when they came out.

 

Great book.
