Really terrifying to read the neglect and abuse that this girl and her brothers and sister suffered at the hands of their mentally ill Dad and the mom who did little to protect them. This family was a prepper/survivalist strictly Mormon family living in Idaho about the same time as the Ruby Ridge incident.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

I’ve been on quite a reading kick lately and I’m just blazing through books. I’m currently reading “Waging Heavy Peace” by Neil Young and Bird Box is on deck.I LOVE MUSIC.

RootsAgain. I think I love this book because it just covers so fucking much story. And because it is so completely wrapped up.Of course the reality of American slavery HORRIFIES me, not to mention the current results of it. It weirds me out that the history of American black slavery and its modern impact seems to be glossed over in so many ways.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton.I love Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical, and I wanted to get the full story. I'm not usually one for thick, dense non-fiction (it's 500+ pages, in a fairly small font), but Chernow has a very nice voice that keeps me engaged."I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the [shows I've done]. Some folks just have one, others they got none..."

Just read this -- read business type books constantly and loved (loved!) the simplicity of messaging in this. If you are in any way part of company leadership I highly recommend a few hours to read and digest this:Almost finished with this one, also one I suggest.

I went on a 8 month bender of reading nothing but books on the Mercury and Apollo space programs. Fascinating stuff, but needed a break...
Decided to revisit some past reads and started in on Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.0 -

I very rarely read more than one book at a time but after reading about a third of the way through Bohumil Hrabal's I Served the King of England:I ran into a copy of David Hepworth's Never a Dull Moment: 1971 The Year That Rock Exploded:and am thoroughly enjoying them both!
