Always found Terry Pratchett's books fun to read, he has quite an imagination..

I just started a book called Nightshade - Twentieth Century Ghost Stories. It's a collection, so I expect some stories to be better than others, but it's a nice escape on a Monday afternoon. :~)

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

Just started to read the dystopian novel "We", by Yevgeny Zamyatin 1924

Came across it after I read, George Orwell's "1984"

"A Higher Loyalty", by James Comey.

Noblesse.

Noblesse is about a powerful noble - Cadis Etrama Di Raizel (referred to as Rai) - who has been asleep for 820 years with no knowledge of mankind's advancement and scientific successes. At the start of the webtoon, Rai wakes up in an abandoned building in South Korea, and starts to get used to the modern world. He goes to a school, where he reunites with his loyal servant Frankenstein. With Frankenstein's help, Rai enrolls into high school and inadvertently befriends athletic teenager Shinwoo, computer geek Ikhan, and Shinwoo's crush Yuna, and a few others. Noblesse follows the group's often dangerous adventures against a secret organization while uncovering Rai's past.

Re-reading (after several years) Book #2 of the "Wingman" series by Mack Maloney. Prior to that, I was reading the last book (#16 I think, of 23 total) of Mike Shepherd's "Kris Longknife" series.
Both in e-Book format (Kindle 5th Generation reader - an older model with no backlight, so the battery lasts a lot longer and no touchscreen)

The Surgeon of Crowthorne by Simon Winchester....the story of the Oxford English Dictionary. Involving murder, the American Civil War and nineteenth century London. Reads like a thriller.

Robert F Kennedy: Ripples of Hope

"The Silk Roads", by Peter Frankopan

I bought the new book by James Patterson and Bill Clinton, The President is Missing. I'll probably start reading it tonight because I've been sleeping all day. I won't be able to get to sleep at a reasonable time, I'm sure.

Although James Patterson is a very popular author and writes about a dozen books a month (JK), I've never read one by him. It's his collaboration with Bill Clinton that attracted me, and the title of the book since it is something a vast majority of Americans are wishing for right now. (LOL)

I'm reading on my Kindle "One Way" by S.J. Morden. It's about a group of convicts all serving life sentences with no parole who agree to be transported to Mars to build the first science base on the planet. One by one they are dying and one of the convicts thinks they were murdered. So it's a cross between a scifi novel and a murder mystery. I'm about halfway through it and so far I have stayed interested.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

"The Fort", by Bernard Cornwell. A novel of the Revolutionary War.

Fortress in the Eye of Time, by C.J. Cherryh.

Cheers.

"Third Thoughts", by Steven Weinberg.

"The Tangled Tree", by David Quammen. Humanity has a complex history.

"The Particle at the End of the Universe", by Sean Carroll. (Higgs Boson).

Those sound like some good books, there, Jim. I'll have to put them on my library list.

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

They're excellent books, Gordon (My 2 1/2 yr old grandson's name.). "The Tangled Tree" boils down to our being not individuals,
but composits (You'll want to read, to find out why.). "The Particle at the End of the Universe", was lent to me by a Starbucks
barista, who is a physics major at Boston. Univ. The book did an excellent job of explaining about the programs we run from CERN. Enjoy.

Re-reading (after several years) Stanislaw Lem's "Solaris" (this part didn't make it the 1st time due to the site going down for maintenance at the time I originally posted), then I'll be re-reading his "Tales of Pyrx the Pilot". Already read all of the of the "Wingman" series by Mack Maloney. Prior to that, I was reading the last book (#16 I think, of 23 total) of Mike Shepherd's "Kris Longknife" series.
All in e-Book format (Kindle 5th Generation reader - an older model with no backlight, so the battery lasts a lot longer and no touchscreen)
