what... are... you... READING

[conlang returns]

A book called Dreadnought by April Daniels.

It's about a teen trans girl who is transformed into how she thinks she should be when a superhero (Dreadnought) falls from the sky, transfers his power onto her and then dies. So she has to deal with living in a body that fits her, her psycho dad, her best friend who now wants to date her and other superheroes who think she's too young to take over Dreadnought's powers.

Welp.  That's going on MY list for sure now

There's a second book too but I don't have that (yet).

A history of Motown!

The Trial of Henry Kissinger - Christopher Hitchens

Read this one before but since Kissinger died a few weeks ago I felt like reading it again. As John Oliver put it when Kissinger died: [Kissinger] died at the ripe old age of not soon enough.

A bio of Patrick Stewart, aka, Capt. Picard of Star Trek, TNG.  Pretty good read!

Is this the one he wrote?

Reading Linear Algebra Done Right. Bought it at Waterstones university shop in London last month. For whatever reason I'm drawn into maths again.

Is this the one he wrote?

Yes, and it is quite good and I felt quite honest!  "Making it so" is the subtitle!  I just finished and I would recommend it!

Adding that to my list, then.

Reading "Trans" by Helen Joyce - I saw her being interviewed by Richard Dawkins and got interested. About two thirds through, and her argument so far is flawless. I'd be very interested in opposing views.

A book about the Allied campaign against the axis in Italy during WW2.

I have it now and am a few chapters into it. It's called Sovereign and it's already a good read.

Almost finished with "Trans" and still fascinated. It's a very good book. Well written, concise, practically requiring a response.

Also reading "The Principia: The Authoritative Translation and Guide", a modern translation of Isaac Newton's famous book defining his laws of mechanics and gravitation. This one's been tweaked to use mathematics more closely resembling the mathematics of what I studied at the uni.

The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz.

Older book, but it includes many bio items regarding the early jazz influencers, a foundation that most of us music appreciation nuts are missing out on if we do not know the cells driving this new rage from a hundred years ago.

Re-reading mainly to refresh my own foundation and explore interesting references further.
