So onto another recent purchase: The Wizardry Quested by Rick Cook. The fifth in this series, and I read the first four long ago, so I'm looking forward to this. |

Just finished Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel and it was very interesting. I read it based on recos from Dngrsone and Hampshire Nanny (both of whom never get it wrong) and they absolutely had it right this time.

I also have a dead-tree book to read... every once in a while someone leaves a book on an airplane that is actually interesting. In this case, it's What to Think About Machines That Think edited by John Brockman. |

Just finished Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey. Now it's on to a biography: Hiding in Plain Sight: The Secret Life of Raymond Burr by Michael Seth Starr.

![]() Have you read his other books too? (While it goes without saying that I was quite happy to see Bands of Mourning come out, I'm actually most interested in seeing The Dark Talent, if only because that series sort of died a while back, right before the end. It's been a long wait.) Last edited by eschwartz; 02-09-2016 at 08:28 PM. |

Well, that wasn't what I expected, but a Library book came in, and I found myself engrossed. Just finished the first skim of Sea Kayaking: The Classic Manual for Touring, From Day Trips to Major Expeditions, by John Dowd & Freya Hoffmeister. This the 6th edition. I strongly suspect if I'm going to get serious, I'm going to want this book (and a couple of others as well) on my permanent shelf.
