I’ve had the last 3 books of the Wheel of Time series sitting on my shelf since they were released. I figured since it’s in my top 3 fantasy series of all time I should do the series justice and start from the beginning again.

so here I am reading The Eye of the World again. It’s as great as I remember it being the first time.

was it good?

was it good?

I enjoyed it, yes. I listened to it on audio. She paints a good picture bouncing around from Oregon, Philly, and Seoul. Also covers getting married, her difficulty communicating with her extended family, and a difficult vacation in Vietnam she went on with her dad after her min died. Was only like 6 hours on 1.2x speed, but it’s also a memoir so there’s no high-drama.

I read The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master. If you're interested in programming that's the right book for beginners. I study Computer Science in college now. I found coding homework help here. They are pro and can help with homework. I think such services are great option for students who need assignments and want to get good grades.

Concise history of the Vikings. Lot of cool photos of relevant Scandinavian sites, and Norse artifacts..

In his book Edwin Lefebvre: describes a large number of trading strategies, techniques and tricks used by the legendary Jesse Livermore;

Purchased the following crime fiction books: Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard (Jackie Brown, Tarantino, 1997), The Force by Don Winslow and The Power of the Dog by Thomas Savage (The Power of the Dog, Campion, 2021). Not truly interested in reading literary fiction right now so I'm just waiting.

Crime fiction tends to be where I fall back to when I need a break from literary fiction too. At the bare minimum you always know you're going to be entertained

Not the most productive year (at least since April) but yeah, I'm always working on something. Will go harder next year haha. You?

So far, a good read, although I haven't gotten very deep into it; it's nearly 900 pages, and it doesn't cover even half of her life.

Prior to that, I read Myrna Loy's autobiography:

Would also recommend, and I had no idea about her to speak of, save seeing the movie the "Best Years of Our Lives" (which I would also recommend).

Good you’re still going. I’ve actually started back up a little bit .

I received Marcel Proust “In search of lost time” for Christmas , and at 4500 pages I’ll be busy for a little bit. Haha

Recently finished a fictional book, set in the early days of the Spanish Inquisition.. thought I'd go back and read more details on the depressing and sadistic facts of the Inquisition.
