"Seveneves" by Neal Stephenson

I am trying to read everything I can. I adore reading both classic and modern books.

Zigzag {A Nameless Detective Anthology}

1976 Book "The Hospital Ship" by Dr. Martin Bax. Autistic children are part of plot

I've got two I'm chewing on.

My friend was listening to the audio book of Leviathan Wakes by James Corey - he liked it so much that he bought it for me on Kindle and told me I needed to read it; so far pretty entertaining.

The other one I just bought; Alan Moore's Jerusalem. I've got that in hardbound sitting in my room, an almost 1300 page novel and the way people seem to be talking about it it's a bit like this could end up being a modern classic. Haven't gotten too far in yet (I'm in book one still) but I'm quite interested in staying the course and seeing where he takes this.

Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals (1971).

Dark Age Naval Warfare.

Very informative book about how the much spotlighted Viking sea raids and expeditions were actually only the last of a long line of Germanic naval warfare, predated by Rhine and North Sea Germanic tribes in the first century BC, and their later descendants, the Franks and Saxons in their depredations on the Roman Empire. Germanic pirates, carrying out amphibious warfare, had ranged far and wide, attacking the coasts of Britain, Belgium, Gaul, and even Spain, North Africa, and almost unbelievably, the coast of Asia Minor (Turkey).

A Fistful Of Collars {A Chet & Bernie Mystery}

Just finished 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley.

I finished reading "Fahrenheit 451" for the first time yesterday.

I read/reread between 10 and 20 books at a time, I alternate between like a rabid squirrel as I've always done it, some I'm perusing are harry potter and the order of the phoenix, my tome on the ancient egyptian empires which I hit every couple days as it's very challenging to absorb information from, interview with the vampire by anne rice, othello by shakespeare and treasure island by stevenson which I started again as I forgot where I got up to when I abandoned it a few months back because I was reading other stuff. I really frigging like treasure island, I was never impressed by jeckyll and hyde by RLS, I managed to get a great mark on my english lit a level in the past when I picked the theme of duality to write about, I put aside my disappointment and appreciated the ambition despite not enjoying the actual content.
