Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds

[MarcusBrody]

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.

Yeah, but that thread is buried at the very top of that section.

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.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds

That's a good one. I loaned it out a decade ago and can't remember to whom. Worth rereading

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.

So entertaining. I read PHM in under 24 hours. I haven’t done that since I was a kid

Can’t wait to see the movie, Rocky is one of the best characters ever. Loved this book.

[oldnew_guy]

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.

I've been reading a few Don Winslow books - drugs and crime in the SoCal surfing set. Good beach reads

I vaguely remember some controversy about that book right? The book publisher PR team saying this white author had an undocumented immigrant husband but not mentioning he (or his parents maybe? ) came from
Ireland not South America.

any body have tinny libraries in their hood ?

I think there might be 5 in town
