Too Controversial To Have An Athleisure Line
Mrs. Walt read it first and recommended it to me. I just devoured it. It made for great discussion afterward too.

Let’s Get Obtuse!
Read the Memory Police for a book club. Just finished the Whiteness of Wealth. Re-read Nixonland. Listening to Tony Horowitz’s Voyage Long and Strange because the audiobook was available immediately and needed something to kill time while driving for work stuff. Recently listened to Wild New World which was pretty engrossing.

I tend to listen to audiobooks when I'm driving. I'm listening to "The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich" right now. All 54 hours of it. I'm about half way through it. I wanted to get a better idea of what pre WW2 Germany was all about. My parents were born there in 1926. By 1940, my dad was drafted into the German army at age 14. Eventually, he was captured by the British, and spent the rest of the war in a POW camp. It saved his life. He was the only one from his class who came home alive in 1945. They emigrated in 1953. The Marshall plan was in action, but much of Germany was still rubble. From birth until they left, the only things they knew were hunger, poverty, death, and destruction. I don't blame them for leaving. I just wish that they waited until after I was born to become US citizens. That would have given me a claim to German citizenship.
Must be good. I just put it on the waiting list at my library. It's a 16 week wait!

I'm reading This Delicious Death by Kayla Cottingham, which I am enjoying very much.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a wild ride, but if you are the type that expects at least some of the threads to be tied up at the end of a novel (as am I), the ending is just that: an ending. It just stops. Almost nothing is explained, and all the wonderful little intertwined threads just go poof.

I’ve been consuming this sci-fi series of books called Homeworld Lost. It’s heavier on the “fi” than the “sci,” almost Marvelish, but fun. Great dialogue and humor. Plenty of explosions and gratuitous violence.
