Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
i just finished Fortune Favors the Dead, which kind of reminds of a Rex Stout book if Nero Wolfe was a progressive woman.
I'm now reading To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis. It's part of a linked world of books about time traveling historians. I've read two others a long time ago. All of them have been mostly set in World War 2 England, though this one is lighter in tone than Blackout/All Clear.
I was just reading this thread.

Powers and Thrones by Dan Jones
A pretty comprehensive overview of the Middle Ages, centered in Europe but talks about the exchanges between the East and Muslim worlds in a way I haven’t found in most histories. Also has a pretty compelling narrative, doesn’t just read like a history book.
Down And Out In Paris And London, by George Orwell.
His first novel. Life of the poor and destitute in Paris and London in the early '30s.
“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix
A few interesting books I have read over the last few years
Born a Crime
The Dog Stars
Station Eleven
The Water Knife
The Fifth Season (trilogy)
Natural Born Heroes
The River
"fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ
"She was tossing her bean salad with the vigor of a Drunken Pop princess so I walked out of the corner and said.... "need a hand?"" - Odin
"everybody's got their hooks into you, fuck em....forge on motherfuckers, drag all those bitches across the goal line with you." - (not so) ill-advised strategy
Just blazed through The Martian and Project Hail Mary. Nothing to fancy there, but entertaining.
Currently reading Blindness by Jose Saramago which is a little heavier.
The fact that he runs into Rocky blew my mind when it happens. Really wasn’t expecting that.
If you're looking for ski inspo check out Higher Love: Skiing the Seven Summits by Kit DesLauriers. I'm in the middle of it now, it's great if you like those kinds of adventure stories.
I'm about 1/3rd of the way into American Dirt and it is riveting. Incredibly timely and puts a face on a very, very difficult problem in North America.
"Can't you see..."
((. The joy I get from skiing...

((. That's worth living for.

^ should have looked there. I'll fly into a rant about Joe Rogan and get it moved
Good suggestions everyone! Thx!
