Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time ...
Maybe the fourth time I've read it. Never gets old.

Last week or so I finished 'Being Mortal' by Atul Gawande. He's the medical checklist guy (and MacCarthur Fellow)--and it is a meditation on the end game, medical care, death, nursing homes and lots more..Harrowing, but a good read:

I’ve been revisiting some my favorites:
Just finished Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury, and now I’m on to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey. Thinking Brave New World by Huxley, but will most likely go to the Earthsea series by Le Guin next so I don’t go too far down the dystopian rabbit hole...though Tolstoy’s War and Peace has crossed my mind a few times lately which always leads me to Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment without fail. |

I'm reading "A Man Called Destruction", a biography of Alex Chilton. Several more in the same general vein in the queue. |

Thought I would revive this one a bit. A friend of mine said that this book was the closest thing he's ever read to his real life experience being in the 101st in Vietnam. Pretty intense stuff.

I'll suggest "To Calais, In Ordinary Time." It's historical fiction set in medieval England. I picked it up based on this review:

I'm about 1/3 of the way into The Three Body Problem. It is science fiction from China. Super fascinating and I have no darn idea what is going to happen at all.
If I can pry myself away from that, going to start The Death and Life of the Great Lakes soon too. |
