If you think that your life is hard please read this book. I've read it 3 times now.
It's really about humanity lost. I know that we've had our differences, but the Russians soundly beat the Germans for us in relation to men lost, and lives destroyed; war is more personal when it's in your back yard.

main book right now is an Allan Dean Foster book, hes the guy who wrote the book that the movie Avatar was based on.
Also reading; Teaming with Nutrients, a book on Cornelius Vanderbilt, and about to start the new Mark Helprin book.
If I don't have a good book to read my life feels incomplete.

I am reading "A Dance With Death" by Anne Noggle.
Women fighter and bomber pilots and navigators tell their stories of flying missions against the Germans in world war 2. I have been an avid reader of military books for over 45+ years and this is an incredible book. Women in their early 20's that flew up to 1,000+ missions during the war. They were all female crews, even the mechanics. I am reading it slow because it is so good I want to make it last as long as possible.

Hot Art: Chasing Thieves and Detectives Through the Secret World of Stolen Art by Joshua Knelman
i found this very interesting.
the black art market is HUGE and there are almost no regulations and for some reason almost no law enforcement working specifically this market. org. crime loves art to launder money.
recommended!

I bet that will be good, talk about an insider.
Maybe this should be in the "old stoners crash pad" but I read 2-3 pages today and had to nap.
wouldn't trust this asshole to tell anything even resembling the truth.
The Company-State - Corporate Sovereignty and the Early Modern Foundations of the British Empire in India - Philip J. Stern (2011)

I am delighted to be reading "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein...
I'm always fascinated with the strong characters in his novels. This one is like reading the headlines from today's news. Only substitute the 'man from mars' with another celebrity...
The version I am reading is from Kindle, and is supposed to be the 'unabridged' version... seems like a longer read, and is fascinating.

Really interesting read. Also Check out "For Us, The Living: A Comedy of Customs" by Heinlein. Talk about strong main character. It also features a social credit economic system.
Just finished One Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka. Philosophy and farming!
Who Built the Moon?
by Christopher Knight and Alan Butler
there is still no reasonable scientific explanation for the moon.
knight and butler amass a bunch of mindblowing data and while i don't quite agree with their conclusions, this book is still highly recommended.
