    Doesn't have to be hard books, but also digital. But what are you reading? I have many and my interests can vary, so I am curious. To date, I have read probably some 10 books this year.

    I have several books I have read recently, and am in the process of reading. They are:

    Wild At Heart by John Eldredge.

    Linux For Beginners - Ethem Mining

    Why Conservative Churches are Growing - Dean Kelley

    The Sea Wolves: A History of the Vikings - Lars Brownworth.

    Life Together - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

    The Complete Roman Army - Adrian Goldsworthy -


    So, what are you reading?

    I've read Escape from Buchenwald, by a guy named Zinchenko. Pretty good read! It is fairly simple in terms of writing, because I don't think it was meant to be published originally.

    Project Hail Mary by Wier. Easy science fiction read (fun book, lots of twists and turns). I’ve been flying a bit lately…

    Looks interesting.

    I use Biblio to buy all my books, so this will go on my list. Thanks.

    I was going to say, after reading about it quickly, it would make for a movie.

    One is in the works.

    :).

    This makes sense. Wier also wrote the Martian book, which was made into the movie of the same name.

    The most recent Sci Fi book I have read recently has to be Jules Vern, 20K leagues under the sea. But it has been a few months.

    If you liked it, Vern wrote two other captain Nemo books, and a bunch of other classic lit.

    Yes. I first read the abridged version when I was probably 7 or so. I loved it and always thought I would want a sub like that!

    I believe I have also read, and I don't have it with me so I may be wrong, First Man in the moon, Around the World in 80 Days, and I think he also wrote something else.

    As for other Nemo, that I had not heard. I know Mysterious Island has Nemo, but I cannot remember if he wrote it. I think he did as well. Were there others?

    Mysterious Island is one. The other is in Search of the Castaways.
