Koko by Peter Straub
Right now, I'm about about 5/6 of the way through The Promise by Chaim Potok. I've been on it for a couple months, but a day or two I decided I needed to finish it and have really buckled down and finished the majority of the book. This novel is the sequel to The Chosen and is an excellent novel (as is The Chosen). I highly recommend it, both for the religious debate and the interpersonal relationships and psychological. Reading The Chosen first is not neccesary but it helps.
I've also made a New Years Resolution to read the entire Bible, actually I made it about a week ago, but that's close enough to New Years, right? I'm still in Genesis, but I'm really enjoying spending a few minutes with my Bible everyday. I've also began an individual Bible Study of the book of Proverbs, covering and studying a chapter a day. The amount of wisdom in that book is astounding. Highly beneficial for one of any faith.
Finally, I began James Dobson's What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women, a non-fiction Christian and Psychological book on marriage (in addition to his religious teachings Dobson is a clinical psychologist). Hopefully the insights I'm learning now will serve me well in the next year or two when I do settle down. I was thrown by the title, but the book actually seems to be intended for women rather than men, but I've found the insights to be just a poignant to a male seeking to better connect with his partner and strengthen the relationship.
Windows 10: The Missing Manual (May 2019 Update) by David Pogue. I have always relied on Pogue's "missing manual" books when switching to a new Windows version, especially for privacy issues.
I installed Win10 this month on a new SSD, but I can still dual-boot into Win7 on my old HDD, so I can transfer files back and forth. So far it's worked out fine.
When I said "great read" earlier, I meant Ready Player One. I am not literate enough to have listened to Clare Danes read Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey, although I am very impressed, as usual, with you, Bob!
I would consider Ready Player One an excellent example of how there is some wonderful youth fiction out there that folks of any age can read and enjoy.
1984. Reads like my work diary.
