Great book, all the latest info on our closest hominid cousins. She strikes a nice balance between science and narrative.

Got to be one of the best books on whaling ever written. I had it on my list for my doctoral exam and remember the joy of rereading it.

Read “all the light we cannot see” a couple of months ago
. Currently reading “Last night I dreamed of peace-the diary of Dang Thuy Tram” . A young female Doctors account of her war service in Vietnam in 1968-1969, unfortunately she was killed in 1970. After that I’ll start “the amateur marriage “ by Anne Tyler. Last edited by Bix-B; 07-23-2021 at 08:45 AM. |

Fascinating tale of real life obsession. Including the famous buying duel between Nic Cage and Leonardo DiCaprio for a T-rex skull.

I'm usually reading 2-3 books at a time, alternating between them. My latest add Is Scotty Moore's That's Alright Elvis.

So many books , so little time
Now that you mention it — during the pandemic I collected ( all hardcover) and read the complete works of Jack London. I wasn’t a strong reader in my younger days so, now I’m making up for it at 68 and reading the classics. Working on Moby Dick now . Read Asimov, R.L. Stevenson, Huxley, Sinclair Lewis, etc. I’ve read more books this last year than my entire life. Yikes.

I'm waiting for the UPS man to bring me Daniel Silva's newest, "The Cellist." Should be here any minute.
I'll start it as soon as I finish Leon Uris's final book, "O'Hara's Choice." He died just as he finished that one. Pretty good.

I'm reading some of Adam Gross light novels.
Just finished "15 seconds"-very good except the the ending was a bit disappointing. He writes well, with good characterizations and plots. Susan Sloan is the tops with this genre IMO |

So apparently there's a law that requires every non-fiction book published in the 21st century to use the exact same title formula:
[PHRASE THAT MAKES NO SENSE ON ITS OWN] [number] [noun], [number] [noun], and the [struggle to/event that] [shaped/caused/changed/saved, etc.] [something important] forever* *the "forever" is optional, but preferred.
