What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech
-
Lone Survivor.
I'm really into military books. Although it takes me months to finish 1 book, because I lose interest in "reading for fun" so often.
-
Transition by Iain M Banks. Should be done by the end of the week.
-
Reading the first book of the Bobbsey Twins. I know, how exciting.
-
I have an audible subscription. I drive so much that listening to books is the only way I get to digest them any more. I have been listening to the Legacy Fleet Trilogy by Nick Webb. I like it. I also have been listening to Thomas Sowell and some of his more pivotal pieces.

Audible is the best.

Finished the first Bobbsey Twins book last night.

Started reading Little Women with my eight year old. She loves it.

Finished a re-re-read of Orwell's "1984" a little over a week ago, and I'm currently working on Vonnegut's "Player Piano". I've got Neil Gaiman's "Norse Mythology" up next in the roster, and then I'll probably do a re-read of his "American Gods" to get it fresh in my mind before the debut of the new TV series.

Loads of Murakami. By far my favorite Author.

Yes, and some of the parallels to the current iteration of our "American Culture" are frightening; specifically the glorification of ignorance and anti-intellectual sentiment. I feel like the warmongering part has always been there, but the current administration is trying to push the agenda in the same fashion as the Cold War era administrations did.
Quite disturbing.

I own every book he's ever written. Norwegian Wood is my favorite book of all time.

She is LOVING this. We read two chapters this morning. I'm amazed how much she is into classic American literature.
-
Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye and The Best of Connie Willis which is (surprise!) a collection of Connie Willis' short fiction.
-
I'm currently on book 10 of 10 -- The Crippled God -- of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson.
Fantasy / Military
It's actually quite good.
