Currently in the middle of Reading Judas by Pagels and King, and SPQR by Mary Beard. Recommend them both!
Natsume Soseki, Kokoro. Masterpiece.
A Preface To Plato (Havelock)
Executive Power by Vince Flynn.
Ha ha! I just saw The Big Short and thought it was excellent. For all the angry rhetoric in the United States right now, we as a nation should really focus our attentions on the banking industry. Criminal.
Just started The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins.
The Brothers K by David James Duncan
It is a coming-of-age story following the Chance family in the 1960's. I'm not a big baseball fan, but I'm enjoying the book. There are some really funny parts so far.

Foundation and Empire down, Second Foundation on station.
Act of Will, by A.J. Hartley. A fairly standard fantasy plot, nothing new there, but it is very well written with tongue firmly in cheek. Fans of humorous fantasy along the lines of Terry Pratchett would probably like this one. I'm already starting on the sequel, Will Power, and it seems to be as funny and well crafted as the first.
A Game of Thrones—A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1. So far seems to have a lot of details that the series glosses over.
I started reading:
Al Capone - An American Mythos
Great book. Very interesting to read.

B&B membership has its percs
Did The Crossing today .. I know that Bosch is my age, maybe that's the attraction. Hoping we get a couple more before Harry crosses for ever ..
Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War That Changed American History
Really enjoying this one.

I just finished Under Majordomo Minor by DeWitt. I'd give it a bright shining Meh.
I'm about to start "The Whites" by Richard Price (using the pseudonym Harry Brandt). I'm excited about that one.

I'm a little ways into a new book by Scott Meyer called The Authorities. It's a light hearted, fun and funny whodunit detective/police story. Basic premise, young, average cop makes an outrageous bust that goes viral and gets him noticed by a tech billionaire, who has created a team of cooky specialists with fancy toys to be an experimental private investigation group. He's hired him to become (unbeknownst to the cop) an attention getting, wave making, bad boy. His image is created, from his "costume" to his gun and his vehicle, and he's not sure how to become that guy while the team investigates a murder.
I'm enjoying it so far!

Evolution, by Stephen Baxter. An expansive sci fi treatment of, er, evolution. Better than it sounds.
