    I'm trying to get into it. Been fighting GoT, TWD, and Westworld for competitive rights to it. Too bad there is such good TV right now.

    I like Bukowski, more his poetry though. "Dinosauria We" was a great poem and was the cause of many of my own bad, high school poems.

    I'll have to check that one out. I've read several on TR. Interesting character! The biography trilogy by Edmund Morris is outstanding.

    Why I Am Not a Christian
    and Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects

    by Bertrand Russell
    Interesting in parts however the writing in parts is somewhat dry and dated.

    Just move on to "The Talented Mr. Ripley" by Patricia Highsmith.
    I usually don't read these crime and mystery novels. However Highsmith has got my interest as an author
    of many styles etc.

    Think I'll begin a book on Thomas Jefferson soon. (A "hand-me-down" from my Mom's collection).

    Norseman misunderstood Dark Lord of the Sith

    That is something I have considered myself. It is my favourite part of the Discworld series. But I guess I ought to finish the whole series before restarting it :)

    Picked this up at the Antietam Visitor Center. It is a collection of essays about what was happening around the time of the battle and not a blow by blow timeline account.

    I started The Big Roads by Earl Swift this morning as my next commute listen. Quite interesting so far.
