Good Books.... Well, there are a few.

I just started reading Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential". I'm only a few chapters into it, but it's been very entertaining. He has a very unique writing style with a huge depth of vocabulary. I find myself stopping to look up some of the words.

I stumbled upon Steve Berry maybe 5 years ago. His books involve a government agent / spy and some sort of historical time period / event / person… one such example is the terracota army. Also like James Rollins. Both are highly recommended.

On a similar note, I found this book quite interesting…

Infinity: The Quest to Think the Unthinkable.

A Brief History of Infinity

'Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way do...

I just finished a book called Lost Airmen. Pretty decent and I learned a lot, it’s mostly about B24 crews that bailed out over Yugoslavia and how the partisans helped stash them. It gets into the politics of the time during WW2 and you can see how that translated into the problems when Yugoslavia broke up in the early 1990’s.

That sounds interesting. I'm reading "The Violence Project" by Jillian Peterson and James Densley. It's a brief overview of their work trying to address what most of us merely wring our hands at... the current epidemic of mass shootings in the US.

Sounds interesting, I'd be interested in the cliff notes to see if it's something I would want to read. If they're findings are related to more guns availability and prevalence or AR-15, I wouldn't be interested.

If they're findings are more related to the people aspect and the changes in the social lives and culture I would be.

"the winter harvest handbook" by Eliott Coleman

He grows veggies year-round in zone 5 and sells them on the commercial market. The book is full of tips and tricks on how to grow in cold weather.

But it also goes into how a healthy plant resist pests.
