What are you reading now?...

I thought it may be nice to have a book thread for the readers we have here... not sure it will go over well but I'll start....
I'm reading this right now and enjoying it very much...

But a word of warning after you read one Cussler novel you can't stop... he has many books some are written like a TV series and you want to keep reading them until the end....
This is about a private military contractor and his team called the corporation and they get in one death defying mess after another...
I rate it 5 stars...

Sigh, the best I could do today was look-up a revolver in The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson.

Uncle Tom's Cabin .. tired of this being a cliche when people use it and haven't read the book.

Good Idea for a thread.

I read Vixen03 when I was 12 and was hooked for 15 years or so. Read the entire series up until Valhalla(?). Anyway...when Dirk Jr started as the main character I kinda got away from them.

What am I reading?

Fiction... Will Leave the Galaxy for Food by Yahtzee Crowshaw which is part of the Will Save the Galaxy for Food series. I listen on Audible so I don't know if the reading experience is as good as the audio experience, but this is one of the few authors that narrate their own audio books and add more value than a voice actor.

Edit - Appearantly it's called the Jacques McKeown series

If you're a fan of Terry Prachett Discworld or Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon flavor of humor, you'll probably like these.

How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler by Ryan North.

Found encased in prehistoric granite, this book is purported to be a technical manual written in the event your time machine malfunctions trapping you in the distant past.

As the act of time travel creates a branch reality, and no parts of your rental time machine are user serviceable, the manual explains how to jumpstart civilization as quickly as possible using modern knowledge.

If you're a fan of Bill Bryson's style books (not so much 'A Walk in the Woods', as 'At Home: A Short History of Private Life') you will likely enjoy this book.

I definitely want to read this, both volumes. It may not be an easy or uplifting read, but it looks very informative and eye-opening.
