The Philosopher in the Valley by Michael Steinberger
About Alex Carp and Palantir. Well-written and interesting. Fair treatment of most things but extreme derangement syndrome about Trump and Musk by the author.
Class Clown by Dave Barry
Story of his life, very funny, his book too. Most funny is people who wrote him contesting his outlandish statements, thinking he was serious!
Nightmare in Pink by John D. MacDonald
Travis McGee in New York, seemingly on the trail of an embezzler, suddenly is disoriented and incapacitated.
The Saints' Everlasting Rest by Richard Baxter
Reading Baxter one realizes the depth of his spiritual understanding and devotion and can't help feeling small, frail, and weak. But his compassion and pastoral heart shines through as he exhorts and pleads. This book is about the contemplation of heaven daily and about the flimsy excuses and unbelief that are barriers to this practice. Much to learn, model, and do.
Rules for Visiting by Jessica Francis Kane
(read aloud)
A really enjoyable story about friends. So well-written I always thought she was telling her own story, forgetting it was fiction. So wise and full of interesting information about plants and words. Many quotations and advice about friends, made vivid by the characters' attempts and foibles. Everyone in this book in my opinion is a hero, doing their best. A comfort book like comfort food.
Rocket Dreams by Christian Davenport
About Bezos and Musk and their rival companies. Good reporting, story in progress. SpaceX way ahead.
