Time for some fiction—getting back to Tolkien for a bit. Got this when it came out and added it to the stack of things to read and soon forgot about it. Not sure. why.
Picked up a copy of Cosmos recently after reading Age of Wonder. time to learn more about astronomy after reading so much about Herschel.
Summary: Good read, want to see the show on TV or online soon.
Saw this had come out in paperback, so I picked up a copy.
Quite good. Traced the develpment of recording tech during Sinatra's career, especially in the Columbia and Capitol eras. A good followup on the topic after having read the Bing Crosby bio earlier this year.
Picked up this based on a review in Time magazine.
Picked this up as a result of a couple recommendations. So far, so good.
Just on a John McPhee kick for a bit. Learning about 18-wheelers, barges, ocean tanker training, and coal trains.
Plucked this out of the bookcase over the weekend—didn't even realize I owned it. Bought it used some time ago, I guess. Should be easier going than Assembling California or The Control of Nature. Finished July 10.
