What was the last book you read?
"1984" by Orwell. A classic and fascinating read.
shareJourney to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan. I would not recommend it. I am more than halfway done with the original Star Wars that is my current reading.
share"A Blue Classroom", by Rod Labbe.
It has been awhile...
I read four or five during the summer and none since. Everyday after breakfast I went outside for an hour or two and read. Good Times.
Some book about Lincoln was the last one, I think.
On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder
shareDeath & Survival in Glacier National Park. I went to Glacier in October and picked it up while checking out a gift shop to find something to buy for my mom.
It's a good book. A bit repetitive but it's interesting after being in some of the locations where people have died/been killed. Plus I plan on going back this fall if the COVID thing lets up, it has some pretty interesting insights into dealing with wildlife threats.
it was actually Walter Tevis' "The Queen's Gambit"
my plan= read the novel before watching the show.
"Five days at Memorial: life and death in a storm-ravaged hospital" by Sheri Fink.
A thorough look at what happened during and after Hurricane Katrina at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans.
Just before that I read "The great deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast" by Douglas Brinkley. About what happened before and during Katrina, the inner workings, and the entire system failure of local/state government, the Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA and more.
On deck, just today I picked up three more from my library.
