I'm taking a break from climbing books (planning of reading Ed Viesturs' No Shortcuts to the Top soon) and started reading Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. Pleasantly strange thus far!I SAW PEARL JAM0 -
The Things they Carried by Tim O'Brien. It's a reread, but I last read it almost twenty years ago.

Lol, I was cold the whole time I was reading Into Thin Air.

I gave up on Master and Margarita. It's great but just not my thing right now. So I started Where Men Win Glory but quickly dropped that one for now. I found it too disturbing based on my feelings of "why the hell were we in Afghanistan in the first place?" and what a waste of lives, including Tillmman's.
So it looks like I'm going back into the mountains with Ed Viesturs' No Shortcuts to the Top.

While riffling through all the book bins in the basement, looking for The Hobbit to read to my daughter (which I did not find
), I found the bin with all of my Pynchon and brought up the books to my nightstand. I almost feel whole again.

I'm almost done with this, All the Truth is Out by Matt Bai. About how the reporting of Gary Hart's affair changed journalism. Fascinating.

Awesome book -- I'm about halfway through re-reading it myself, need to get back to it one of these days. I've found it interesting, revisiting books that I read in college. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that they're every bit as good as I remember them being. I also get so much more out of them now that I'm older; I see and understand more than I did back in the day. And, yes, I'm a big fan of reader-response criticism.
I'm currently in the middle of three books: David Frum's Trumpocracy; The Productivity Project ('cause I need to be more productive); and The Power, which is a nice, light, change from all of the political (non-fiction) stuff I've been reading. I'm definitely relishing the occasional break from news/ politics. Frum is a great writer, but as a number of people have noted, this might be the most distressing book ever written.

Just finished this book. The writing at the beginning is a little choppy as if her notes weren't clear, but it gets better. There are extraneous descriptions of people, but it can't be denied the impact of this sex discrimination case against Newsweek. It would be a good bookclub read.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

Note taker- alright, me too!
I'll take my coffee black, thank you!
The book looks interesting. I haven't seen that one but the cover photo looks very familiar somehow.

If anyone is so inclined, my latest book came out on Feb 9th and has been connecting with audiences on a level I never expected. The characters do end up at a Pearl Jam show or two............
It's available on Amazon in print and digital as well as Apple iBooks. Will be available at Barnes and Noble in a month or two. The artwork was done by Rockets are Red, my favorite gig poster artist out there. If anyone like Gaslight Anthem, he did many of their older posters.
