Had a pretty busy work week, hardly got time to read anything. So still on The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Why did I have to see this post now?

Three books:

Righteous Victims by Benny Morris, the detestable Zionist who laughs about starving children. It’s very weird reading about Israel’s historical atrocities throughout this book given the author’s recent behavior.

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. About a quarter of the way in, and this book is strange. It has not proven its legacy to me yet, despite the descriptive writing and impressively gritty plot.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. Some of these poems make me cry. That is remarkable.

Just wrapped up Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. The book is better than the movie, and I enjoyed the commentary.
