I'm on overload since Monday last day of school.

But the last book I read was Confessions, St Augustine. It's my go to when I find myself doubting myself at home and work.

In the last month I had 3 kids arrested and 4 suspended for dumb assery. Struggled not bringing stuff home.

"The Municipal Water and Wastewater Design-Build Handbook: 3rd Edition"

Learning a bit more about my new job before I start it

Planning on reading "The 100 Year Decision" about conference realignment later this summer.

Finished the Divergent series before that. Fun read.

Blood Meridian
That masterpiece was written in 1985 and nothing since has sniffed it in brilliance.

I'm currently reading "100 years of solitude" by Marquez. Widely considered the greatest novel ever to come out of South America, I am enjoying it so far.

If you want a historic based novel. I advise The Lion of Ireland by Morgan Llewellyn. Its based on the life of Brian ap Boru, the first high king of Ireland.

Also Stephen R Lawhead's Arthur series is amazing. Obviously it's based on legend not history. It is still incredibly well done. He or Cornwell are the best Arthur authors. Completely different though.

My favorite historical fiction author is Louis L'Amour. The Walking Drum is incredible. Based on pre-medieval Europe, Byzantine, and ME.

Current reading is:

When Hell was in Session: The Jeremiah Denton story.

Year of Fire trilogy. Starts off with too much info and the books are really long, but am on the third book now and wish there were a few more. Parts are cheesy or a bit over the top, but overall has been a good read (aka, listen on audible).

Blood Meridian is a great book.

I'm wrapping up Shotgun Lovesongs. Not bad.

Artful.

It's written by Peter David about the Artful Dodger as a vampire hunter.



Yeah, I'm not particularly proud of this, but you asked and I answered.


P.S. Plus, I got it for free as part of Amazon Prime or some such, so ... forgive me?
