I listened to David Goggins’ book on Audible. Does that count as reading?

Finished the Philip Ball book "Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is Different" last week and started the Carlo Rovelli book "Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity" yesterday. I don't READ much fiction anymore though I do listen to them on audiobooks when I travel.

My real nerdy tendency is to get and read textbooks. I get the previous edition that students can't use anymore for dirt cheap often pennies on the dollar and teach myself some new (generally useless to my life) subject. I usually keep one around and read a chapter at the time when I am bored the current one is "Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and Applications".

Total Power. A Mitch Rapp book by Kyle Mills. It was decent, but not as good as when Vince Flynn was the writer. May he RIP.

I last read The Power Broker. It’s basically a gigantic fawning hit piece.

I bet if Robert Moses was alive today, he’d love the OT and be its best contributor.

I’m currently speed reading some Lee Child (cheap, action movie fiction) novels. The last thing I really enjoyed was the Kingsbridge series by Ken Follett. The Pillars of the Earth is the first in the series. I recommend it.

Rich Cohen has some pretty good books. The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America's Banana King is pretty great.

Pretty much. When I first started learning about Q physics years ago I was convinced it was some sorta gay code.

Easily.
Beauty was an issue as well.

But it always is.

Maxwell & Heisenberg should collaborated extensively. But time got in the way.
