//This is a summation of several months of recent reading...it sounds like a lot, but it isn't as much as it sounds like.

Just finished reading The Phantom Toolbooth to my 5-year old for the 3rd time (first time was more to $spouse when the kid was still nursing, but I'm counting it anyway). It's an awesome book to read when you are a kid, and doubly-awesome to read aloud to a kid.

For me, I recently finished The Founding Fish by John McPhee (one of my favorite writers).

I just started reading Rust: The Longest War which seems good so far (similar in style to McPhee).

I've also recently read:

  • Flagship by Issac Hooke,
  • Outsystem by M. D. Cooper,
  • Nightblade by Ryan Kirk,
  • The Shadow Order by Michael Robertson
  • Columbus Day by Craig Alanson

    All as part of some sort of Amazon Prime Kindle deal. I can't really recommend any of them. The first two are formulaic in the extreme, and because everyone is the best supersoldier/pilot/captain/hacker ever, and there's no question they will "win," and I just didn't care. I couldn't finish the 3rd, although it wasn't bad; I just wanted to read something else. I honestly can't remember anything about the 4th, it was that bad. The last one (Columbus Day) didn't suck.

    Also from Amazon:

  • Red Hope by John Dreese, which so far is like a not-as-good version of The Martian by Andy Weir (I DO recommend The Martian, but think it is one of the very rare cases where the movie is better than the original source material).
  • Meta by Tom Reynolds was decent.

    Most of the Amazon Prime Kindle selections are the first of a series, and while I like a good series as much as the next guy, I'm not going to bother with any of them, except for Columbus Day and Meta. Maybe.

    I mistakenly read Echopraxia for the second time, but it's good enough that I didn't mind. It has some pretty creepy parts, but I like what I've read of Peter Watts so far, and it's a fairly deep book in parts, so a second read wasn't a waste.

    The local library has some Terry Prattchet as a digital loan, so I read one or two Discworld books too.

    Anyone have any suggestions for a good biography of Eisenhower?

The Politics of Friendship

It is my winter reading book. I am loving it.

I want a soda steam and a 3d body scan so I can have a virtual fitting dummy and use it to make a perfect foam dress form for way less than the $800 the company charges to have it done.

Kids are getting a climbing dome for the backyard and some smaller toys. Peanut is getting some magnetic letters and games, and Bug is getting a rocking mammoth and a sit n spin. My kids haven't really asked for anything specific, I haven't quite let them know that that's a thing... whoops?

Small Great Things. I'm a Jodi Picoult junkieeee.

Also reading The Handmaid's Tale, but it's on my kindle fire, and I only get to read it when the midget isn't using it to watch YouTube videos and play ABC Mouse.
