I just finished Seth McFarlane's THE ORVILLE, and am now rereading PALM BEACH POISON by Tom Turner.

Just starting this one today. Winner of the 1991 Hammett Prize as the Best Crime Novel of the Year... I think it was even a TV series, very briefly, when the author was at his peak of popularity in the 90s after the success of GET SHORTY, etc., etc.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was, with Beau Bridges as Bob. Only lasted about 6 or 7 episodes, though. 

I'm still reading GHOST HUNTER. Haven't had a lot of time to read, unfortunately.

About a third of the way through The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher. It is informative about Social Media’s rise to power and how we have changed as a result.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by R. A. Heinlein
Not the first time, more like the the sixth.

The End of the World Is Just The Beginning by Peter Ziehan. So far a bit unsettling.

Just finished this one, which is the book that accompanied the 1978 BBC television series of the same name. I enjoyed it enough that I picked up another non-fiction book by James Burke that was written in the same spirit.

Now starting on this one. I read one of the author's earlier books about ten years ago and enjoyed it. I decided to read more non-fiction this year so Michio Kaku went back on my TBR List.
