The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness (Book 2 of the Chaos Walking series)- Pretty good for a YA series. I'm sure the movie is destined to disappoint, but it's been an interesting concept at least.
In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson- Fascinating look at Hitler's Germany. Interesting to watch Ambassador Dodd go from "I understand you have a Jewish problem."
To, "These Hitler and Goebel and Himmler guys are just playing at politics. They won't survive long."
To, "Oh y'all really aren't going to do anything huh? These guys are nuts. I'd like to come home now."
Currently Reading
Dead Wake by Erik Larson- Very early on in this one but I'm excited to read more of Larson's work, particularly on events I'm not all that familiar with.
Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull- Book by one of the founders of Pixar. Gives a history on the company, some behind the scenes look at the movies I grew up with being made, and his thoughts on management and creativity. Not really much of a manager, nor am I in a creative field, but still a good read.
Finished Hell's AngelsStorm FrontFull MoonThe Sinful SevenThe Ask and the AnswerIn the Garden of BeastsCreativity, Inc- Good read, a lot about managing people in a creative environment that doesn't really apply to me.
The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll- Been using some tools from this method for a long time now, but just now read the book. Gave me an appreciation for some of the concepts and ideas he uses to organize things and stay on top of your stuff without getting bogged down.
Perelandra by C.S. Lewis- Very good creation/fall story, I really liked out of The Silent Planet and liked this one just as much even if it maybe seems to get a little crazy towards the end.
Currently ReadingDead Wake is on hold until I can get back to the Library and renew my membership.
Cruise of the Snark by Jack London- London documents his attempt with his wife and friend to travel the globe in their own sail boat. Only about 10% of the way through and it's pretty entertaining as he writes about the delays they've dealt with in construction, how little they actually know about sailing and navigation, and how poorly constructed some parts of their expensive boat were.
The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F. Hamilton- I saw him recommended a lot in last years thread for Science Fiction and I really like it so far. It's very possible I'm far too stupid for his writing but that has never stopped me before.
Didn't do as much reading at the end of April and beginning of May as I need to, so going to try to pick up the pace.
