Having both an enlightening and somewhat terrifying journey through "The Body Keeps The Score".

Going to read something light and flippant after this one.

I've read a few good ones since my last post:

"The Boys from Riverside" - Thomas Fuller. The story of a high school football team where they are deaf. I didn't know about 8 man football or about the deaf community. Excellent

"Crashing Through: A True Story of Risk, Adventure and the Man Who Dared to See" - Robert Kurson I did not plan on reading about deaf people and then the blind. This was really good, I liked Kurson's book "Shadow Divers" and was not sure about this one. I'm glad I took the time, it told quite story.

"Bandit Heaven- The Hole-in-the Wall-Gang and the Final Chapter of the Wild West" - Tom Clavin I really enjoy Clavin's books, including some he writes with Bob Drury. He gives a good history and details on the characters. Of course, it features Butch and Sundance but a whole lot more.

"Tombstone- The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday and the Vendetta Ride from Hell" - Tom Clavin. I've read other books on Tombstone, this is my second favorite next to "The Last Gunfight" by Jeff Guinn. Clavin does give credit to Guinn for his excellent telling of the story. I couldn't get Dana Delaney out of mind from her role in the movie "Tombstone".

Little did I know that I had about 3 pages left in Radigan when I last posted, but I finished it. I really enjoy Louis L'Amour's writing.

Been trying to decide what to read, and settled on some history with Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West.

I'm only barely started, but it is absolutely fascinating, and the writing is very readable. Really interesting.

Edited to add 3/8: The premise is the author examining the history of Islam's conquests and attempts at conquest, dispelling the "religion of peace" concept started during the GWB administration. They really use the same playbook over and over again.

Still waiting on The Black Ice from my local library.
Re-reading Project Hail Mary

Found out Libby is Kindle compatible & our library does ebooks via Libby. Put me at #8 for the next Bosch book, instead of 14th for the physical book.
Need to find something available to test that my old Kindle is compatible

Just finished “The Wanted” by Robert Crais and starting “Mortal Prey” by John Sandford. For those who have not read the Elvis Cole/Joe Pike series by Crais, I recommend you give them a try.
