Now reading the second book in Abir Mukherjee's new mystery series, set in Calcutta, India, shortly after the end of WWI. Great stuff so far.

John, with the age of the New Yorker, are there many cartoons that have lost their meaning in the 21st century?

Now starting the final book written by the late great Mr. Stephen Hawking... I read his first book A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME way, way back in 1990 but have not sampled any of his other work since then. I am hoping that reading this new release will inspire me to grab some of his other stuff off of the shelves at my local library...

So I've been listening to audiobooks recently. Does that count as reading?
Anyway, just finished listening to "The Name of the Wind" and "The Wise Man's Fear".
Started listening to "Agincourt" by Bernard Cornwell

Started this one recently. I had ordered it quite some
times ago, but because of the holiday season, it arrived
with a lot of delay.
As a matter of fact, the other 2 books next on my
reading list just arrived yesterday... and they were
ordered the same day !

Now starting the second book by Simon Sinek. I enjoyed his first one (START WITH WHY) and wanted to see how he expanded on the themes he introduced.
