Swamp,  I'm thinking you could get a nice old Donkey Kong stand up machine and put it next to your loom!

I wonder if there are any that right on now about our future.

It scares the crap out of me to think about it, but that Yuval Harari guy has some pretty for out ideas.

Just finished the latest "Longmire" book from Craig Johnson, Tooth and Claw.  It was the audio version, I've done all of the Longmire books that way.  I really enjoy the characters, the settings, and the stories.  This latest book took place before most of the other books and had a couple of the favorite characters.  It made for a much better commute than radio (mostly ads) or talk radio

Bradm, Ready Player One the book was WAY better than the movie. Lots of 80's references in that one!

Finished this one plus its sequel Ready Player Two.  Great references and I can understand why they changed the movie from the book.

Now starting on a book called "Fire Road" written by a Vietnamese woman who was the child who came to be known as Napalm Girl.  I would think that many here are familiar with the picture taken in 1972 of a 9 year old girl running naked down a road after being caught up in a napalm drop.  She survived, miraculously, and this is her story of her awakening in a morgue, her recovery, and her life culminating in her becoming a Christian, her immigration to Canada, and a return to the place where her life was forever changed.

The community here sponsored or basically adopted a Vietnamese family back in the 70's. Got them a place to live and work. One night they disappeared and left here, probably to Toronto, and no one heard from them since. No good byes or thanks, gone. That you don't forget.

I read this book and remember when it happened.

Anyone read Steven Hunters Bob Lee Swagger books? Shooter was a movie made from one.
They are another good light read. Like Elmore Leonard of Justified fame.
Sort of remind me of Reacher in a way.

I have done one, maybe two, of the Bob Lee Swagger books.

I did the Elmore Leonard "Justified" books, I enjoyed them and the tv show

Along the same lines, I really like Homer Hickam's "The Ambassadors Son" and "The Keepers Son".  I can't remember which one goes before the other, but really like the characters in The Ambassadors Son. They take place during WWII
