Hmm. Well, according to my phone, I need to crank through: Currency Wars by James Rickards. Ain't gonna happen. I made it a third of the way through this after Mauldin & Tepper's Code Red and Rickards is ridiculous. Basically a screed about why we should return to the gold standard. Average is Over by Tyler Cowen. I think Ryan Holiday recommended this one. I've made it as far as "This is Audible." Debt: the First 5,000 Years by David Graeber. This is one that comes up a lot in financial literature. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Because classics. Lucifer's Hammer by Niven and Pournelle. Have read it 3 times as a novel; it was cheap. The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sachs. Because Sachs. It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis. Gets mentioned a lot by bleeding-heart 'wingers about totalitarianism. Might as well. Love in the Time of Cholera by Marquez. See: Oscar Wilde. Inside Delta Force by Eric Haney. Because it was $5 and I've read enough of these that you can start to piece together what they aren't telling you by what other people aren't saying in other books. Dirty Wars by Jeremy Scahill. His analysis of Blackwater was pretty damn good, and I have that on the authority of a good buddy of mine whose cousin's body was dragged through the streets of Fallujah and whose aunt was interviewed extensively as a consequence. Definitely read The Martian. Don't go into it expecting too much. It's a long-form story problem turned into narrative, which has its limits... but Earth Abides is, too, and I would say Earth Abides is one of the best sci fi novels ever written. It's certainly the hands-down best post-apocalyptic novel ever written. I haven't recommended it up til now because I've read it six times but never listened to it. If you haven't delved into the hundreds-of-hours nightmare that is George RR Martin, you should. Roy Dotrice narrates all but one book (he was on stage in London for Feast for Crows) and they're incredibly good. Slow at times... and you'll hit a point in Clash of Kings where you never want to read again... but you'll be glad you did. I found the Millennium Trilogy to be deeply engaging. They're pop, to be sure, but they're fun. Have not listened to, but deeply enjoyed reading, much of Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series. There's some great writing there; not sure how it translates into audio. Probably pretty damn well. Robert Charles Wilson's Spin is really, really good. The next book is mediocre. The last book is terrible. Read the first book and enjoy the mystery.Nothing in particular. I'd love to see how your library looks like right now.
Sci-fi is my go to. But I'm trying to dive into the other leagues too.
