Almost all the books I read have had previous readers…

One of my top non-fiction books. `Masters of Doom` was pretty good and read kinda in the same vein, if not a like Hackers, but with a very limited scope. If you like the game Doom (1995), I highly recommend giving it a read

Also just went back to Wheel of Time haha. So good.

Interested in reading Butter by Asako Yuzuki at the recommendation of my band mate.

Currently reading Leviathan Wakes. I don’t have any experience with sci-fi books but I’m liking it so far.

I’ve been wading my way through The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time. It might be the first book I’ve actually finished in over a year lol. Hopefully that’ll get me back in the swing of things because I have two more Thrawn books, a new Ransom Riggs novel, and a few classic novels I need to get through.

Have you ever read " The Cuckoo’s Egg" by Clifford Stoll? Interesting account of an early breakin. Our security coordinator had me read it when it came out. We were starting to work on some classified projects at our testing facility.

These are two I’m moving through right now. Far Journey I just started last night. I really thought it was going to be a more abstract, existential approach to out of body experiences. It’s not! It’s much more factual. Im only 40 pages in but they’re really breaking down the govts involvement with project gateway and other wild spooky remote viewing things. A lot of “stories” told by people in the program, abductions and what not. It’s really cool!

Bittens pretty self explanatory. 😁

If you like Dostoyevsky, drift away from crime and punishment. I enjoyed “The Brother Karamazov” a lot better. However I think his best is “House of the Dead” or possibly “Poor Folk” About debtors prison. As a younger man, I was a…guest of the state for a significant number of years and dived super deep into Russian literature. Oddly enough, I also was able to get an NHK Japanese station on my tv and dove really deep into sumo wrestling. Odd thing to show inside, but whateva. Beats the food network, that’s just torture. Like watching porn with no payoff. :joy:

I’ll say this, the Russian surname system was seriously difficult for me to understand. Ivan, Ivanov, Ivanovra. For me at least. 🤷‍♂️

That made Crime and Punishment pretty difficult at times for me. WHO IS this person? Oh, he was referred to by a DIFFERENT name in the last paragraph!

Right??? Exactly!!! It definitely takes some getting used to. I found myself flipping back a couple pages a number of times in order to distinguish exactly who I was reading about. :joy: House of the Dead is my fave out of everything of his. It’s about the horrors of debt prisons and the Russian economy. A really good read.
