Books read in February.
- Zero History, by William Gibson. Finishing Blue Ant. Love this author.
- Uneasy Money, by P.G. Wodehouse. Still good. The Plum will always be classic.
- The Enemy in the Blanket, by Anthony Burgess. A continuation of the Malaysian trilogy. So good.
- Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue: The Untold History of English, by John McWhorter. Great book. Read it when it came out, but great reread for language lovers.
- The Odyssey, by Homer. Been meaning to read this for years. Finally have.
- Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir. SIL choice for family book club. Really good! So much better than Artemis.
Books bought in February.
- The Spire, by William Golding. Hubris. So much hubris.
- The Wordhord: Daily Life in Old English, by Hana Videen.
- Burma Sahib, by Paul Theroux. About
- Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue: The Untold History of English.
- A James Bond Omnibus: Vol 1 & Vol II, by Ian Fleming. We accidentally bought one of the new, expurgated versions, with its vocabulary fixed for modern sensitivities. Managed to get our money back 10 minutes later. Then we searched for old versions with Fleming's actual writing in them.
- Yeoman's Hospital, by Helen Ashton. Read about this book a couple years ago. Finally came in for about 10 bucks.
(Just found this in a separate window on my computer; thought for sure I already published. Doh!)
