Another month flew by. I'm kinda peopled-out.
Books read:
- The Doctor is Sick, by Anthony Burgess. One of his best. What a screwed up doctor.
- The New World on Mars: What We Can Create on the Red Planet, by Robert Zubrin. Preaching to the choir; I wanted to be on Mars a couple decades ago. I definitely want(ed) my kids to have the opportunity. Go go SpaceX and Blue Origin!
- A Memory Called Empire, by Arkady Martine. A reread, my choice for family book club. I sped through it so I could get to the second, which I'm reading now.
- Casino Royale, by Ian Fleming. Great story. Going to read these in pub order.
- The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England: 400-1066, by Marc Morris. Great history, listened to it. Complimentary to my Old English language study.
Books bought:
- Troy: The Greek Myths Reimagined, by Stephen Fry. I love him. Read a couple of his novels decade or so ago. Great writer.
- War Isn't Wonderful, by Ursula Bloom. Had on my search list at Abebooks for quite some time, finally came in cheap(er).
Language-wise, as discussed above, still doing Old English. Finishing chapter 4 of Complete Old English. Ready to move to chapter 5 but have and have had family all month, so will move on in a day or two.
