Books

Just finished Terry Pratchett's Discworld Book 1 "The Colour of Magic" which I freakin' loved, and now I'm about halfway through John Sandford's "The Investigator" which takes up the story of Letty Davenport, Lucas' adopted daughter. It's a good read and hard to put down.

Sayonara Gangsters by Takahashi Genichiro - it is a weirdness fest of post modern Japanese literature. I love every chaotic page.

Neurodharma: New Science, Ancient Wisdom by Rick Hanson (a little dry, but interesting in small doses)

Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne (cozy fantasy, low stakes)

Seasonal Fears by Seanan McGuire (2nd book in a duology, compelling characters)

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari (Also a little dry, but the audiobook format makes it easy to consume while doing other things)

Just finished the Mayo Clinic Guide to Pregnancy . Pretty sound pregnancy book.

Also reading through The Cornish Coast Mystery by John Bude. It's part of the British Libraries Crime Classics which I'm hoping to work through. It's actually a little simple. It shows a piece of evidence and then walks you through all the possibilities and investigators thoughts. Its also telegraphs what happens heavily at the beginning and then red herrings in a very plodding way for the rest of the book. It's really a 1920s police procedural.

I'm also reading a book called The Dao of Montessori but it's a bit heavy for an entry into that teaching philosophy.

I just finished This is How You Lose the Time War today. It's a pretty short read, but I think it's as good as everyone says.

Roadside Picnic

The original story that was the inspiration for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series.

Paladin's Grace - by T Kingfisher

I'm about 80% finished with it, but I'm pretty sure my wife pulled a fast-one on me by recommending it. The characters are unique, and the author is fairly insightful and funny - but I'm pretty sure this is a really soft-core romance just building to a sex scene at some point followed by a 'happily ever after'.

I'll report back when I finish it.
