Gray matters: the history of brain surgery

Happened to stumble on this at the library in the new books section and it’s fascinating in how neurosurgery started and has evolved written by a neurosurgeon

Just finished What I Ate in One Year by Stanley Tucci. I enjoyed it as much as his last book, may try a few of the recipes.

Gonna finish Steve Gleason's book during the freeze

One in a series of Stephen Leather stories featuring Spider Shepard, a sergeant in the British SAS (special forces). In this installment, Shepard and three of his fellow SAS members are made part of an ill-conceived offensive in Afghanistan. When the operation goes FUBAR, the four SAS men have to traverse about 25 klicks of hostile territory to get back to a friendly outpost, and on the way, they kill at least a dozen Taliban fighters and destroy several tonnes of weapons. Upon reaching their base, the general who screwed up the operation charges them with desertion and cowardice.

I broke down and decided to give the series a try. About 1/4 of a way through and it’s just ok. Hoping it picks up sooner rather than later.

I've read one or two of Leather's books. Not bad.

I tried the audiobook. Got through a few hours and gave up. Just not enjoyable at all.

I let my sister talk me into reading that. Fantasy is my favorite genre. Turns out Romantasy is my least favorite drama.

I've been reading some Melanie Karsak Historical fantasy and really enjoyed it. But it had a lot more intrigue, war, religion/paganism, and politics among the romantasy/smutty bits (and some of the books in her series had little "smutty bits").

So far this one is just ok. It's picking up a bit now that I'm halfway in. I'm not sure how I feel about Feyre as the main character.

Another story in the Spider Shepard series. Shepard and his British SAS unit have been called upon by the US to rescue two hostages held in Egypt. The US cannot mobilize Dellta Force quickly enough so the government asks the Brits to us SAS which is already in the area.
