    I finished "Dust" by Mark Thomson. A real well written coming of age book.

    Letters from a Stoic.
    Seneca.
    Amazing that letters written 2000 years ago still have relevance today.

    Clive Cussler's "The Bootlegger"

    I know..."fluff" but hey, I can only read "thoughtful" books for so long then I need something "fluffy".

    🤔 😉

    I have started reading a biography on Bruce Springsteen, don't know much about him as I'm not a fan of his music but I think he's an interesting person.

    I have read one of his books, 'Burnt' - thought it was pretty scary at the time.

    He is really a folksinger in the guise of a rocker.
    Have you ever heard of his home produced 'Looking for the Ghost of Tom Joad'?
    It is folk, just about as pure as it gets.
    Well not as pure as the Pindar family or the Watersons but it is a good CD.

    Opening Skinner's Box: Great Psychological Experiments of the Twentieth Century (W. W. Norton & Company, 2004, ISBN 0393050955) by Lauren Slater.

    The book is both funny in a peculiar way and horrendous (mostly in the contents) it is well written.

    I have finished the book and in fact I think the style wore off.
    So I would suggest to read the book chapter by chapter with some breaks in between.

    I finished the first volume of Ian Doescher's Shakespearean Star wars book.
    It is hilarious!
