What are you currently reading?

Just finished The Things They Carried, so decided to go after this one right away. 1/4 through and it’s been a delight.

Enjoyable easy read. A bit too fanciful in some ways, and too realistic in others. Character development was less than I expected for all but one character. Similar to a few of the other books by Sir Abby, the beginning and ends were the best parts. Not nearly enough monkey wrench gang activity in the world as there should be (<- quite possibly the most ironic statement I've ever made considering my profession).

“Hite has been submerged by Lake
Powell for many years now, but Smith will not grant recognition to alien powers.”
 
The Omnivores Dilemna for the second or third time. Rough read for our food supply and as someone that enjoys eating foods that I know aren’t good for me. Probably going on a ridiculous diet soon
 
I am finishing if Deathbin the Silent Places. I enjoy Capstick books but they take some focus to stay with. I picked of a compilation of Jack O’Connor stories and have been enjoying it.

Super interesting read from the earlt 70s. This guy was researching the escape of Martin Bormann to So. America for years, when the West German government decided that his remains were found in a construction site in Berlin. This book is his researched rebuttal.

I love getting good old books for .25 to $1.00 at library sales.

That looks very interesting.
 
The Old Man and the Boy" by Robert Ruark is such a classic. I’ve decided to read more newspapers and magazines to stay in touch with the reality and different perspectives. These days, I’m planning to call this taste of home phone number and make a subscription with them. It’s great to have access to their delicious recipes and cooking tips whenever I need inspiration in the kitchen

The sequel to Dalva. Better in many ways, in terms of writing quality and storyline. Still told through journal entries. but it was not a good read for me at my current stage of life. It is a better series, I would think, to read in retirement or HS.
