Halfway through ADMYL, a different pace/direction with it not being Bosch-centric & flipping back/forth between Bosch & McCaleb The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Finished The Great Gatsby. Started off slowly - I kept thinking "Why am I reading this?", but after the first of many twists, I started to get more engaged. It turned out a far different book than I thought it would be. In the end, I'm glad I read it. I watched the Redford movie, with a very young Sam Waterston as Nick, and it followed the book pretty closely. I plan on watching 2 other versions as well. There was an interesting documentary on Amazon Prime called Gatsby In Connecticut that discussed F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Fitzgerald, and where the settings in Gatsby were based. I'm reading a short story now by Lawrence Block, author of the Matt Scudder series, from his collection Enough Rope. Most of the ones I've read have been very good; I read one or two when I need a palate cleanser in between books. Next, I'm probably reading Feasts Of The Lord about the feasts God directed to be celebrated by the Israelites. I've wanted to read it for years. Phone's ringing, Dude. | |||

Author William R. Forstchen's bestselling novel "One Second After" – which imagines the devastating effects of an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) strike on the United States – is being adapted into a feature film. https://www.foxnews.com/us/nuc...s-invisible-lifeline I hope they keep it true to form ala Tom Clancy. I know the book haunted my thoughts long after reading it................ "No matter where you go - there you are" | |||

Science and the Akashic Field by Ervin Laszlo. Started watching 'Eureka' again a while ago, and this book was in the opening scene. Figured it was just as good a way as any to pick a next book to read. | |||

I realized last night what my issue with the book is - the pacing in the first half is too slow, and the pacing in the last half was too fast.

I just finished reading two WW II military historical fiction novels by P.T. Deuetermann: -Iwo, Twenty-Six Charlie: a naval officer at the Iwo Jima invasion ends up on the front line as an artillery spotter. Describes some of the horrors faced by Marines on Iwo; but E.B. Sledge’s With the Old Breed is closer to the really horrendous grit of hand-to-hand combat with Japanese. —The Holligans: a naval surgeon at Guadalcanal gets assigned to a PT Boat squadron; has many medical adventures and military misadventures. As a physician, pretty good description of surgeons’ work in extreme circumstances. His novels are more realistic, less formulaic than some well-known authors such as WEB Griffin. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

"Dreamland" by Sam Quinones, the story of opiates and heroin. I didn't realize what a sheltered life I'd led since 2000. For years I worked in Newark, NJ and dealt with the drug problem. About then opiates were taking hold in the mid-west and black tar heroin was coming in. This book does a very good job of chronicling the issue. He's written a follow up book on Fentanyl, I have that on my library hold list. "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

My wife gave me the next Hunger Games prequel Sunrise at the Reaping. Ms. Collins just continues to make strong arguments as to why we have the Second Amendment. It's easy juvenile fiction but so far pretty good. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||
