Have The Sea Hunters by Clive Clussler next in my parade of books. Haven't looked at any on my Kindle in a while, just don't care for reading books on them, unless I am traveling.

About Keith Richards
The Martian by Andy Weir. The book the movie is based on.
Re-reading "Animal Farm".Good book , a classic, also I liked 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 in that vein
I was surprised at how much of, "Animal Farm", I'd forgotten. I think everyone remembers the highest points of the story because they have seeped into the collective consciousness. Things like "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others."
We easily forget the progress of their form of government. They were easily lead and distracted. Enemies were named and renamed as fitted the accumulation of power by the pigs. What was an enemy became a friend, then an enemy again. Also, the inviolate "rules" of Animal Farm were bring re-written under cover of darkness while mouthpieces for the government went around assuring people that they were mis-remembering the original rule.
Recommended by the library "if you enjoy Stephen King." So far interesting.
Educated by Tara Westover. True story as far as she can remember. Bit of an eye opener.

I borrowed that from a co-worker after hearing about it here. I could not put it down; finished in like 3 days.
What a fucked up life!

Check out her parents websites if you want to continue. If you are the least bit alternative or organic kind of an eye opener.
Also read her brothers comments on the web. It is all a little shall we say different. Perspectives and views from other ends.

I just started reading "Blind Mans Bluff", about submarine activities in the 70's. Interesting for me because I was in the USN at the time, though not on subs.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: LibraryReads • BookBrowse • Goodreads
“You’ll love this engrossing novel.” —People
The bestselling author of A Man Called Ove returns with a dazzling, profound novel about a small town with a big dream—and the price required to make it come true.
People say Beartown is finished. A tiny community nestled deep in the forest, it is slowly losing ground to the ever-encroaching trees. But down by the lake stands an old ice rink, built generations ago by the working men who founded this town. And in that ice rink is the reason people in Beartown believe tomorrow will be better than today. Their junior ice hockey team is about to compete in the national semi-finals, and they actually have a shot at winning. All the hopes and dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys.
Being responsible for the hopes of an entire town is a heavy burden, and the semi-final match is the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected.
Beartown explores the hopes that bring a small community together, the secrets that tear it apart, and the courage it takes for an individual to go against the grain. In this story of a small forest town, Fredrik Backman has found the entire world.
Citizen of the Galaxy. Robert A Heinlein
Just finishing up Monster Hunter Memoirs: Grunge (#5ish in Monster Hunter International series). It's gun porn! Pretty obvious that Larry Correia is a firearms instructor...

Robopocalypse by Daniel H Wilson
Yeah,thanksRobopocalypse by Daniel H Wilson
Good book. The followup 'Robogenesis' was a disappointment though, not as well told a story. That said, if you need a copy of 'Amped' by him, let me know. I slaved to find an e-book copy that was complete and finally succeeded.

I'm reading "Beartown" by Fredrik Backman. The neighborhood book club read it prior to me joining. We're set to read the next book in the Bjornstad series in May ("Us Against You"), so I'm reading this one ahead of it. I'm really enjoying it so far!

What are you reading?
I'm midway through the second book of the Malazan Book Of The Fallen (https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Malazan-Book-Fallen-ebook/dp/B00HL0MA3W/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=malazan&qid=1588642250&sr=8-2) series, Deadhand Gates.
There are ten books in the series, and they are substantial books at that, so I have a fair bit ahead of me.
I've read a lot of fantasy over the years, and I have to say that these books rank as perhaps the most original I have ever read. It has been said (with some degree of accuracy) that all modern fantasy is derivative of Tolkien, but these books are absolutely not that at all.
The world building is stunning, the underlaying concepts are unlike any I've stumbled across, and the storytelling language is very immersive and creative while also a bit challenging.
10/10. Would recommend.
Grant’s complete personal memoirs are available free on both Apple Books and Amazon. I’ve been reading them on and off for almost a year. Very long, much is fascinating but I’m rarely good for more than an hour or so, after which I put it away until I get the urge again.
The series has multiple level of intrigue, visitors from out there, strange devices, hoaxes and more.

Sounds like a Fox & Friends show.
This page.Well done, Inmate!

I don’t dare read the copy I have. It is a bit too fragile.
