Extreme Ownership.

I enjoyed it more that I thought I would.

It’s an old classic that I recently picked up. A good read!

Project Hail Mary for the second time now after having just watched the movie. Its such a damn good Fiction book, highly recommend.

A couple of months ago I finally read This House of Sky by Ivan Doig. Quintessential small-town Montana that has all but vanished now. I know the places, but it must have been something to see and live in at that point in time. Funny how some of the characters remind me of folks you still run into at the backroads and dives in the dusty corners of the state.

Started on the Margaret Coel Wind River Reservation mystery series.

Marc Cameron's Arliss Cutter series is also good.

Craig Johnson's Longmire series are good reads.

Holy cow did I enjoy this one. Should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in conservation.

I'll be getting the rest of his writings.

edit: Was deleting photos on my phone and realized a took a pic of one of his pertinent ideas (middle paragraph). So much of what he wrote about in the 80's is still pointedly relevant.

Doig's English Creek trilogy is also well worth reading.

Listening to The Swiss Family Robinson right now. Man do they kill a bunch of stuff.

Finished the second season of Netflix Terminal List based on Carr’s ‘True Believer’ book. I’d read the book & the screen version was well done.

 

[Hunting Wife]

About 2/3 through this one. Also very good. Having read about David Thompson’s journeys through Canada and exploration of the northern tributaries of the Columbia, this one is a good complement.

I grew up in Oregon and knew nothing about how the journeys to establish a trading post at Astoria played out. More journeys that were kind of doomed from the beginning.

Hyperion series by Dan Simmons. Really good sci fi

I'm about halfway through The Wayfinder, by Adam Johnson. Fascinating novel set in the pre-contact Tonga/Fiji islands. Such a bizarre culture in so many ways. I've always been interested in how the ancient Polynesians found their way to Hawaii so this book is right up my alley.

But the coolest thing, which I didn't realize until I awoke in the middle of the night and happened to glance over at my nightstand, is that the stars on the cover GLOW IN THE DARK.

I picked this up after @PoleX mentioned it in his mt goat thread.

It's a quick easy read. Lots of good photos. 4 out of 5 stars.

Not as good as Chadwick's book

I really like his books. You should read the trilogy next.

Brad Taylor Pike Logan series.

Just wrapped up. 4.5 out of 5 stars

Told mostly through old journal entries. Very much in the same vein as Harrison's Dalva. Better in some ways, but overall worse. The strength and enjoyment of the characters decrease the later in time they exist. The oldest character is from the mid 1800's the newest is from the 2000's. The moral to the story, if there is one, is that money makes you weak, and that nothing is yours forever, someone eventually takes it.
