The book I just finished yesterday was similar, Jack. Travels with Charley by Steinbeck. Haven't decided what's next on my list. May catch up on some magazines before picking the next book.
Proudly banned from the NTA.
Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.

I am reading Dead Man's Walk, not my favorite but I have to finish a book I start(some kind of personality quirk). I have caught up on my magazines so not sure what is next, probably back to sci-fi or fantasy.

I discovered three additional books that Douglas Adams, one of my favorite authors, had written outside the Hitchhiker series. I didn’t know they existed until a couple of months ago. I’m on the third and final one now.
Eh...wot?

John Valillant's boook is highly recommend - 'tIGER". Although I really like Steinbeck, I thought "Travels with Charlie" was his worst.

The way of the hermit by Ken Smith.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Jack,
What did you think of the book "Blueprint" by Christakis I sent you a few months ago?
I hope you enjoyed it. That is way above my comprehension level.
I have been reading Brown Bears minds lately. Had wolves, moose, brown bears and black bears the other evening while hunting.
My Super Wide will pull your broken down 4 stroke, up a hill backwards, with you on it!

I have caught up on my magazines so not sure what is next, probably back to sci-fi or fantasy. Another sf/fantasy fan. I'm more of a sf fan than fantasy, but if the Author is good, it is good also. Just reread David Weber's In Fury Born which is mainly mil-scifi but has a bit of crossover with fantasy. Never tried Larry McMurtry's books I didnt care for the movies even though my wife loves them, so never had an interest in reading the books. Besides I grew up on Louis L'Amour and he pretty much ruined me for other western writers.

If you like Weber have you tried Larry Niven or John Ringo. In my opinion two of the better sci-fi writers.

Sundance, Weber, Ringo and Elizabeth Moon are my favorite SciFi authors. Niven I've only read a couple of. I also own every Louis L'Amour he wrote. Have you tried Isaac Asimov?

It covers the generation prior to English Creek and sets up the story that continues in Bucking the Sun and on into The Bartender's Tale. Good stuff !

Just finished “the Black Dwarf” by Sir Walter Scott. That was a surprise! Also, forgot what old fashioned writing was like, took a bit to get used to again.
Just started “robots of dawn” by Isaac Asimov
