Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson — it’s maybe my fourth or fifth reading but it’s been quite a while, so it feels a little like coming home or seeing an old friend.

Currently, I am working my way through Tim Dorsey's work (Serge A Storms). Reading his books and the crazy situations reminds me of some of the shenanigans we got up to when I was in the Navy. I finished reading the Wingfeather Saga with my kids a few weeks back. I am also utilizing my local library to read books ranging from parenting to UFOs to straw bale gardening.

Worth mentioning because I have really appreciated them:
Eugene Vodolazkin: Laurus, A History of the Island, & The Aviator, all in the past 3 weeks.

All are novels, and all (I think) speak truth clearly and beautifully into our fragmented and incoherent time.

Best,
Mark

After 1177 B.C. - the survival of civilizations

by Eric Cline

Many of the records make me question the definition of "civilization".

I'm reading Jeezy's autobiography "Adversity For Sale". Interesting to connect a life story to music I've been enjoying for a while now, though I'm finding the book a bit short on surprises or insights--but that's probably an issue with my expectations more than the book.

A History of English by Barbara Strang.  Is is a historical linguistics book.

I learn from the mistakes of others who take my advice.

I've been reading novels mostly from Arkansas's digital library which is surprisingly good.
several Donna Leon (recommended up thread a ways)over the winter.
just finished Louise Penny's most recent 'the Black Wolf'
and a few other mysteries at random....some very good, some not so good so I let them go unfinished.

Elaine Ingram's 'compost tea manual'
and
Shantyboat, a river way of life by Harlan Hubbard
both as PDF so no rush to return them.
