An international bestseller....in 1842! Anna Reed's biography, "Life of Washington"—'a faith-filled historic biography of America's first President. Pull back the dark shrouds of secular revisionist history, and meet the humble believer, godly leader, and devoted son who became a fledgling country’s source of strength and inspiration. Constantly seeking to serve others and place God first in his life and in the struggle for American freedom, George Washington was a revered and reverent man.' Fascinating insight written within 40 years of his passing.
I just finished reading "Locked In" by John Scalzi. A good book with a very interesting plot. Here is a plot summary taken from Wikipedia: "A highly contagious virus is exposed to the world. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu-like symptoms. For 1%, the virus causes the victims to be fully awake, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. This is known as "Lock In", and resembles the real condition known as locked-in syndrome. The illness comes to be known as "Haden's Syndrome" with its victims called "Hadens". Humanoid robotic personal transport units controlled by a Haden's brain (nicknamed "Threeps" after C-3PO from Star Wars) are developed as the primary way for a Haden to interact with the outside world. 25 years after the initial virus exposure, FBI agents Chris Shane (who is a Haden) and Leslie Vann are assigned to a Haden-related murder, with a suspect who is an "Integrator" – someone who can let a Haden use their bodies. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden, then finding the suspect for the murder is complicated. Further Integrator-Haden related murders occur, making the case larger than expected."
Camp Fires in the Yukon by Harry Auer. Think Outdoor Life stories. His hunting expodition into the Yukon back in the summer of 1914.
Listening to the audiobook version of "The Martian" - only a couple of chapters in but I am really liking it.
