    A little here, a little there.
    It's been quite a spell since I read that book. Definitely a good read! I think I'll inject that into my reading queue to reread.

    Finished the Old Man's War series. Really enjoyed it and would highly recommend to other science fiction fans, particularly military sci-fi fans. Started reading Stephen King's The Shining with the plan of reading It right after that.

    I like Andy Weir, The Martian was fantastic (As was the film adaptation in my opinion). I have not read his other books yet though, I’ll have to add them in.

    I have several Tom Clancy books en queue to read. John Grisham too, I like him a lot. I first read The Broker when I was 12 :rofl:

    I’ve had recommendations to read the Old Man's War series, I’ll get around to it eventually!

    I remember when the Kindle price on his book started out as .99. and stupidly, I did not buy it then. Bought it at the full $10 price, and have read it 2 or 3 times now. Fantastic book.

    I really enjoyed The Martian (book and movie). I personally don't think it is as good as The Martian, tho PHM is a very fun read nonetheless!

    Only two new books from the thrift shop today, good find though. I’ve been wanting to read CBF’s Lee for a while now, I just couldn’t find a copy.

    Here’s the back and inside cover of Lee.

    Good to hear! I have another book packed up somewhere about Lewis & Clark that was really good. Something about rivers in the title, it's been so long since I read it.

    The road to Road to Jerusalem by Jan Guillou on Kindle. The first in a series of three books and an excellent read.

    I’ve been reading the latest Joe Pickett books in my down time and listening to the Spellmonger series on audible while at work. And the Meat Eater podcasts. I probably finish 10-20 books a year on audible and I usually will only get into a series if the books are long otherwise they get too expensive.
