Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, the novelisation by Quentin Tarantino. I was intrigued by the fact that he decided to do the book in the first place.

Just finished a book about "Weird" Al Yankovic.  Pretty interesting, he is an all round nice guy and smart and talented.

"Guns, Germ & Steel by Jared Diamond"

It's not about guns so much as an entertaining account of just how ready Europe was to take advantage of the New World when they arrived here.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

How the Mountains grew.....A book about the formation of Americas mountains from the Rockies to the Appalachians.  It also has a lot of easy to understand geology info about the related things, like the Great Lakes formation, interesting rock outcroppings like the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore, etc.

The Paksennarion trilogy by Elizabeth Moon. It's pretty much D&D with the serial numbers filed off, but with realistic depictions of military, PTSD and injuries. I'm enjoying it.

I loved that series! Paks is awesome.

I know that there are 5 books set afterwards in that world, following characters that were in the Paks books. She's in them but she's not the only one.
