Grad you asked.
I’ve just started this one and is very good so-far.
This is what is written on the back: After a shootout claims the life of his partner in a condemned tenement building on Pearl Street, Detective John Tallow unwittingly stumbles across an apartment stacked high with guns. When examined, each weapon leads to a different, previously unsolved murder.
Confronted with the sudden emergence of hundreds of unsolved homicides, Tallow discovers that he’s walked in on a veritable deal with the devil. An unholy bargain that has made possible the rise of some of Manhattan’s most prominent captains of industry. Now Tallow is searching for a hunter who performs his deadly acts as a sacrifice to the old gods of Manhattan and who may, quite simply, be the most prolific murderer in New York City’s history.
RED is a movie adapted from one of Warren Ellis’ graphic novels.
Found these two books on the clearance shelf at my local library. I guess somebody was trying to donate them to the library, but the library didn’t want them, so they put them on the clearance shelf.
The Arizona Memorial book isn’t really about the USS Arizona ship itself. But rather about the white memorial structure constructed over the Arizona wreck. It discusses the design, history, construction, financing, etc. of the structure.
Anyway, I’m going to put both books in my local model club’s auction this summer and see if anybody wants them.
Reading Panzer Aces II, a silly book.
I did a bit of research on one of the men Kurowski mentions, and apparently he was written “BLATANTLY INCORRECTLY ” according to one of his comrades
The book isn’t anything revolutionary or deep, but it’s nice to just read a little short chapter before you go to bed
Picked this up from my local library today as it was on the clearance (For Sale) shelf. Still had both CD’s in it and in good condition. It will most likely get donated to my local model club auction in June.
Ayy I’m a huge Kraftwerk fangirl - was at their concert last month and it was so amazing omgg
I love their music so much, it is filled with emotions but at the same time electronic/robotic
Honestly one of the most creative groups ever
I really don’t “read” books anymore. Usually don’t have tie. And when I do I tend to nod off. I do listen to Audible on my way to and from work. It’s about 30 minutes to work and anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours getting home. So it’s a good time to put the book on get behind the car in front of me and drive in the commute coma.
I have several series I listen too,but I’m currently reading the We Are Bob series.
Currently reading 1984! I like it a lot so far, full of a ton of different meanings and its enjoyable to read. I also like all the nods to fascism, communism, totalitarianism – I can see a lot of history reflected in the book. As well as all the symbolism…
@Comrade_Shmersky@fxsti03-42 I donated a small amount to my local broadcast radio station and they sent me an audio book CD of 1984 as a premium. Stoked, but still haven’t read it or listened to it, Lol. Still have it tho
1984 is an important book, but not one that I personally enjoyed much. Been a while though – maybe I should revisit.
I am partway through The Road Home by Jim Harrison. He’s one of my favorite writers and this (and its prequel Dalva) is one of the few of his I haven’t read before. It’s a hard novel to describe, like all his work. If you’re unfamiliar, The Legends of the Fall was his breakout and most famous story, due to the pretty good movie they made from it. I’d say that it’s nothing like most of his other work though.
I also just finished The Battle of Britain: Five Months That Changed History by James Holland. Or I should say I listened to it. I probably would have struggled to read it cover-to-cover, as it is a bit dense with dates and stats – but listening was fun. Had some nice new-ish insight into the leadup to the battle, and is interspersed with personal accounts of combat and home-front efforts. I’d recommend it.
Been re-reading “Hail Mary” by Andy Weir (author of The Martian) after having finished “Starter Villain” by John Scalzi, probably one of my favorite authors. If you’re into sci-fi and haven’t read his Old Man’s War series, you’re missing out!
