"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.

"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)

Err, make that 24 books (Parts 1 & 2) in the "Frontiers Saga" series - 25th should be coming out sometime this month.

Fear by Bob Woodward (Audible version)

"Fear", Bob Woodward. Trump, in the White House.

It looks like a winner of a book, Sue.

The latest "Honorverse" (aka: Honor Universe) book from David Weber.

Unlike the last book, this book actually moves the plot forward. Won't post any spoilers though.
