just got around to finishing it. i'll upgrade the writing from "mediocre" to "good", and the story from "cool" to "awesome". the chemistry is still bad, though. i had to double-check my numbers because he got a lot of really cool nerd stuff exactly right, and a lot more stuff that seems about right even though i don't know enough to say whether it is or not. but he was definitely wrong on his conversion of oxygen to water.Quote:

Finished The Martian, and I concur. It was really good.
The trailer referenced in xkcd is here (it looks pretty good, too).

I'm in the middle of the Martian audiobook. Been listening to it going to and from work each day. The voice actor is outstanding. Great story too!
Got it on yalls recommendation. Thanks!
I am reading Under the Black Flag and Pirate Hunter of the Carribean by David Cordingly. If you like nautical history his books on the golden age of piracy are the best.

Re-reading The Journey is the Reward, about Steve Jobs. Book was published about 1988, so it covers Jobs' life up to the point. Woz was (is) a frickin genius! Jobs just wanted to make a buck. They made a good partnership. Great read.
Finished "The Bone Tree" by Greg Iles. Not as good as "Natchez Burning", but good. Greg is from Natchez, and most of his recent books are about the area with most of it occurring in Concordia Parish.

Where should I start with is fiction books?
Our politics cris-crossed. For example he thought LBJ was a great president. I can't imagine how a guy with the intelligence of Foote could be taken in by such a scoundrel as LBJ. Foote is a confessed Yellow Dog Democrat, but he was also extremely intelligent.
Thoughts?
The only work of fiction I have read of Foote's is his novel "Shiloh." I don't read much fiction on the War of Northern Aggression, I find the actual history more interesting. I have read all four of Newt Gingrich's novels on that war, The Red Badge of Courage (of course), and about a half dozen other novels, but I prefer non-fiction. Still so much to read on that period of time.
Okay...have to admit, I have not finished "Gone With the Wind" either. But, I will.
Ever read Raymond Chandler?Quote:

He was one of those (along with three of his brothers) who got the $26 in silver payment and then dismissed. THE MARCH mentions a Confederate Cavalry unit that caught some Yankee foragers and shot them as thieves. It could have been my great grandfathers unit because they harassed Sherman's rear all the way to Savannah.
Thanks. Cool story!

As mentioned before I don't read much fiction on the whole "Civil War" era because the truth is so much more interesting. Recently I read the biography of John Shaw. Absolutely fascinating and riveting accounting of an interesting life. A few highlights:
Shaw was born in Scotland and served in the British Army in India. He did not take to soldiering so when his enlistment was up he immigrated to America, entering at Mobile, Alabama. Eventually he made his way to Louisiana where he bought a small farm...one that came with an added treasure: SALT! His land was just north and west of Alexandria in what is now Rapides Parish, near Bayou Rapides. Actually near the Town of Boyce. He made a bunch of money selling his salt, as well as his crops. In 1861 he was 38 years old, so when the "Civil War" broke out he did not join the rush to enlist. He had had his fill of being a soldier anyway. In March 1864 the Yankees entered the area, part of the Red River Campaign. Now at 41, he watched in disgust as the Yankees burned plantations, "stole slaves" (that's how plantation owners viewed it), and generally harassed the local white population. His plantation, Elmira, sat several miles up a road, off of the main road. The Yankee cavalry, in a hurry and also being harassed by Confederate cavalry, skipped his place. By late April the Yanks were in full retreat, after the battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. They did more destruction and this time, Yank cavalry did go up his road and appeared at his place. Shaw's slaves told him to go hide in the woods and let them handle it. Armed with shotguns and pitch forks a group of slaves met the Yanks on the road. The Yanks urged the slaves to go with them. But they refused. With General Taylor's Confederate Army closing in, the Yank cavalry didn't have time to argue about it.
Disturbed by the wanton destruction wrought by the Yanks, John Shaw decided he needed to join the Confederate Army. At age 41 he enlisted in a battalion of cavalry being raised in Alexandria. This unit was folded into the remnants of the depleted 3rd and 4th Louisiana Cavalry Regiments and joined Colonel John Scott's 1st Louisiana Cavalry Brigade. This brigade was sent across the Mississippi River to support Confederate operations there, and eventually joined the army of General Nathan Bedford Forrest. By May, 1865, the war lost, Forrest joined others and surrendered his army. But not all Confederate soldiers were ready to quit yet. John Shaw joined a small group who planned to travel to East Texas where Confederate forces were still holding out, specifically in "The Thicket." Shaw and a friend wanted to check on their families and their homes first. While he was at his plantation Elmira, someone gave him up. The next morning a Yankee cavalry patrol arrived and arrested him. They took him to the jail in Alexandria. He was asked to simply sign the surrender papers, swear allegiance to the United States, and he could go home. Shaw refused. Weeks later a new Yankee general arrived in Alexandria. This general was forming an army to march into Texas and put an end to the on-going resistance there. By now it was late June, 1865. This general visited the jail where Shaw, and several dozen others, were being held and still refusing to surrender. This general? One Brigadier General George Armstrong Custer. Yes, that Custer. While Custer and his army was still in Alexandria gathering supplies, word came the last of the Confederates had agreed to surrender in Texas. Custer showed the documentation to Shaw and the others...who now realized it was futile. Shaw signed the papers and returned to Elmira the next day.
In the months after the war, central Louisiana, like the rest of the South was devastated. Shaw's salt was in demand and he got richer selling it. He lived to the ripe old age of 91, dying in 1914.
Picked up anything good lately?
I found a copy of Wheels of Heaven, which is a pulp scifi written by a professor at NSU many years ago. No mention of Tech so far but some of the evil empire. Despite that, it's intriguing so far. My father told me it was the book that most shaped his worldview (other than the Bible), and so I've been meaning to read it for many years.
And I picked back up Wolfe's Book of the New Sun. I am getting way more out of it the third time through.
Recently finished Lorna Doone (it was better than I expected, much funnier than I thought it would be, but still a very long, pretty old book that drags at times).
Currently reading Eight Men Out, Annihilation, and Awaiting the King. Mixing in the occasional random graphic novel when I need something faster/easier to read. I've been very impressed by the Marvel Stars Wars ones. The ever growing bed-side stack that I can't seem to get to has The Storm-Tossed Family, Your Future Self Will Thank You, Anna Karenina, and a Raymond Chandler novel (along with several others).
Working on Bunnicula with my kids. We started The Green Ember, but had to return it to the library before we got very far (we were liking it, I may just buy it rather than wait for it to come back available). Wrapped up From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler on audiobook that we mostly listened to on a road trip, and we've got My Side of the Mountain on deck. Plus, lots and lots of pictures books or early reader type books mixed in.
Anna Karenina was a painfully slow read for me. Way too many pages dedicated to scene setting to maintain my interest.Quote:

I will tell you what I have been pleasantly surprised with are the two Mycroft Holmes books written by Kareem. The 5 issue comic was very good as well. Neat twist on Irene Adler in the comic. The third book is coming out in September, A young Sherlock (teenager) was in the second and is supposed to be in the third.
I am also awaiting the next Longmire book in September. Lots of reading that month lol.

I share this affirmation of the goodness of creation and the good of politics.

In other words, such Pylesque eagerness tends to think of politics just as a matter of strategy (and hence getting the right strategy in place), as something that we do, and underestimates the formative impact of political practices, that they do something to us. It is here that I think Augustine's more nuanced analysis of the politics of the empire has something to teach us in the twenty-first century. Because he defines the political in terms of love, and because the formation of our loves is bound up with worship, Augustine is primed to recognize what we might call the "liturgical" power of political practices, which engenders critical nuance.

There are moments when the heart is generous, and then it knows that for better or worse our lives are woven together here, one with one another and with the place and all the living things.

Here’s my favorite piece so far: If you could do it, I suppose, it would be a good idea to live your life in a straight line - starting, say, in the Dark Wood of Error, and proceeding by logical steps through Hell and Purgatory and into Heaven. Or you could take the King's Highway past the appropriately named dangers, toils, and snares, and finally cross the River of Death and enter the Celestial City. But that is not the way I have done it, so far. I am a pilgrim, but my pilgrimage has been wandering and unmarked. Often what has looked like a straight line to me has been a circling or a doubling back. I have been in the Dark Wood of Error any number of times. I have known something of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, but not always in that order. The names of many snares and dangers have been made known to me, but I have seen them only in looking back. Often I have not known where I was going until I was already there. I have had my share of desires and goals, but my life has come to me or I have gone to it mainly by way of mistakes and surprises. Often I have received better than I deserved. Often my fairest hopes have rested on bad mistakes. I am an ignorant pilgrim, crossing a dark valley. And yet for a long time, looking back, I have been unable to shake off the feeling that I have been led - make of that what you will.
What are you reading, you ask? Why...history! Plenty of books, articles, and primary (first hand) documents. Often truth is stranger than fiction.
Just started Daniel Silva's "The Other Woman". Believe it is the 18th of the Gabriel Allon series. Highly recommend the series to lovers of the spy novel genre. Silva does a great job with character development so I feel I " know" Gabriel and his cohorts. And clearly Silva has connections with the real world of international intrigue.
Another good one from Jayber Crow:
Christ did not descend from the cross except into the grave. And why not otherwise? Wouldn’t it have put fine comical expressions on the faces of the scribes and chief priests and the soldiers if at that moment He had come down in power and glory? Why didn’t He do it? Why hasn’t He done it at any one of a thousand good times between then and now?
I knew the answer. I knew it a long time before I could admit it, for all the suffering of the world is in it. He didn’t, He hasn’t, because from the moment He did, He would be the absolute tyrant of the world and we would be His slaves. Even those who hated Him and hated one another and hated their own souls would have to believe in Him then. From that moment the possibility that we might be bound to Him and He to us and us to one another by love forever would be ended.
And so, I thought, He must forebear to reveal His power and glory by presenting Himself as Himself, and must be present only in the ordinary miracle of the existence of His creatures. Those who wish to see Him must see Him in the poor, the hungry, the hurt, the wordless creatures, the groaning and travailing beautiful world.
Good stuff.
I'm about to finish the Memory Man book. Have found it rather disappointing. I liked Last Mile (sequel I guess?) but I haven't been as positive about MM. Frankly, I think I like the cleaned up version of Decker better. As far as the book: A bit preachy and a bit heavy on just following around each new clue -- rather than really being strong on deduction. OK, but I've wondered if someone else is writing this one for him.Quote:

Pretty entertaining. Agatha Christie by way of Quantum Leap. Lots of twists and turns, very engaging. Guy wakes up with no memory at a big manor house and is eventually told that he's going to relive the same day over and over (in different "host" bodies) until he can solve the mystery. Each body interacts with the others and adds new perspectives to the solution.
I always read horror around this time of year. Any recommendations?
Annihilation could probably be considered "horror."
If you're looking for trippy sci-fi horror.
I'll check it out. In general, I like the paranormal stuff. Don't know why. I guess it pairs well with the fact that my 5 year old randomly comes into our bedroom in the middle of the night and just stands in the doorway.Quote:

They say you don't have to read the short stories to get into the saga, but I suspect it will help along the way to know who they're referencing.
If you're curious, the Books in order are:
Last Wish
Sword of Destiny
Blood of Elves
Time of Contempt
Baptism of Fire
The Tower of the Swallow
The Lady of the Lake
Season of Storms
Just started the Hardy Boys series with my oldest.

As an older reader I appreciate the scene setting and the descriptive writing and the world building and all that. But, boy, it takes quite a bit of all that to get to the plot. It's a great story when it gets there (and of course I have the advantage of knowing how good it's going to be), but reading it aloud to a 7 year old in little bits at a time, it's made me painfully aware of just how much scene-setting there is. And we haven't even made it to the worst part yet.

Working on this series with The Daughter (who's already done, but insists that I read them all too). I recommend it if you've got mid-elementary ages kids. Pretty fun.
If you need a short respite with your boys, check out Peter Nimble and Sophie Quire by Jonathan Auxier...both my boys (9 and 5) loved them...but probably not as much as I did.Quote:

Come to think of it, something similar happened to us with Bunnicula, which would be seasonally appropriate to pick back up.
Agree -- I found that Narnia is much better for reading aloud to that age group.Quote:

They pointed out that Peter Bogdanovich and Larry McMurtry had written a screen play together (after "The Last Picture Show") that was to star John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Henry Fonda. John Ford advised Wayne not to do it so it went to the shelf. McMurtry then wrote the book based on the screen play.
Anyway, this is all out there on Wiki, but I had never Googled Lonesome Dove until I saw the short interview.
That’s interesting. I’ve never read Lonesome Dove, but I might start the new year with it.Quote:
