So we have good friends, Leanne, huh? That's my take-away here.

I've begun the second Outlander book and I love it, but I know what's going to happen (because of the TV show), so I kinda don't want to keep going. It's hilarious because, of course, the book is still awesome. But it's like if I don't read it, then it's not true.

I have so much to read still. I am getting through The Rajneesh Chronicles. I have around 100 pages to go. Also Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, And One Man's Fight For Justice by Bill Browder is a good 1 I'm getting through. ''Team of Vipers'' by Cliff Sims about his time in Trump's White House as a staffer is 1 I'm interested in reading.

I guess it's a play on Team of Rivals, huh?

I don't tend do read them, but in part because I read so much other things. I do plan to read Andy McCabe's new book.

I have a rule with biographies. If they're of a living person, it has to be an autobiography. Otherwise, it feels like gossip to me.

But I mostly read biographies of people who died centuries ago. Napoleon, Elizabeth I, Lucrezia Borgia, that sort of thing.

I like listening to autobiographies in audio book format cause it’s the actual person talking about their life.

I’m listening to an audiobook by Amy Schumer, “The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo”. I find it more interesting to hear the experiences from the actual person who lived it all.

That sounds like it would be fun.

I saw a woman on the train reading a book from the sames series as mine this week. It made me smile.

She didn't notice, though.

hmmm, I started a new audio book that is supposed to be supernatural, but I'm not enjoying the voice and the narration.

I'm finishing up on Russia Under the Old Regime. I do want to read Moby Dick, though apparently that book is huge. Cuba Libre! Che, Fidel, and the improbable revolution that changed world history'' I started on last week.
