The Nine Tailors - by Dorothy L Sayers. A Peter Wimsey mystery
Spurred on by frankbell a few pages back I decided to read the books which led to TV series I saw recently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nine_Tailors I enjoyed the TV series very much and the novel is excellent - how to write a mystery novel and add a bit of extra value. With my current downtime I am eagerly awaiting my delivery of "The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club" :) |

I'm just about to finish Joe Hill's debut book, Heart Shaped Box. It's been a good one, so far.

Recently I'm, re-reading Full Catastrophe Living https://www.amazon.com/Full-Catastro.../dp/0385298978, a sort of "eye of the hurricane".
When finished I expect to read The Doomsday Machine by Daniel Ellsberg https://www.amazon.com/Doomsday-Mach.../dp/1608196704 and Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman https://www.amazon.com/Genius-Life-S...ag=braipick-20 |
I've been reading and looking over schematics on how to build our own USB to serial port,,, to go with my home built Arduino Uno. First hit: https://hackaday.com/2012/03/09/buil...serial-dongle/
Now I'm thinking: as long as the chips are open source I'll use them, otherwise could build that too... :D |
I finally finished Eyrie (took me waaaaaay too long) - a great writer whom I will want to read more from, a great book. Sufficiently entertaining and suspenseful, too.

I'm reading Mapping Murder by William Andrews.
It is a very nicely done mystery in the sub-genre known as cozies. It's set in the environment of small-town museums and historical societies. The author is the retired president of a small college and it's full of tid-bits about museums and historical societies and how they work. I just ordered the first two books in the series. |
Learn you a Haskell by Miran Lipovača. I am looking forward to mastering Haskell.

Robert Crais' second novel (copyright 1989) entitled Stalking the Angel. Had to order it online, as I could not find it in book stores or libraries. The reason for this lack came to light in the second chapter where one Donald Trump is mentioned.

The Castle of Otranto
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Castle_of_Otranto 18th century so presentation is different to more contemporary fiction. |
I've just finished Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. I thought it might be a bit "girly" - I'm a macho Baldacci fan - but it's a great story. Highly recommended.
