Impressive list thus far.

My wife loves Murakami, reread lord of the flies a couple years back (sucks for your asmar), The Stand is my favorite book (unabridged version, Happy Crappy), Ove is one funny curmudgeon, read 1984 for the first time last year, and I enjoy reading the Bible.

You all aren’t as dumb as I look.

I have to reciprocate; you sound even more well read than myself. “Ove” was great.

I also completed reading The Bible last year as a spiritual discipline: a few chapters a night. Chronicles was a slog, but I learned more from Leviticus and Deuteronomy than expected.

Ballistics charts and calculus books...

I’m not gifted in math. But you don’t need calculus for ballistics, do you?

Are you making your own ammo or what’s the end to these scientific endeavors?

Sadly, my work schedule has kept me to mostly reading technical articles. When I have time, the Gabriel Allon Series (Daniel Silva), Jack Reacher (Lee Child), stuff like that. My favorite all time book thus far, is Catch 22.

I spend mostly all day on my computer at work. When I leave the last thing I wanna do is read. Unlike earlier in my life I read a lot .

When I'm chilling I'm on YouTube streaming ... mostly documentaries / music / guitar / rustic camping vids. Can't sit thought TV shows / movies.

Excellent book. If you’re into chemical mind expansion or not, it’s fascinating and potentially helpful.

Aurelius Meditations

Every morning. I’m continually reading through it. I’ll need another copy soon. Probably should invest in a hardcover.

Sales Differentiation by Lee Salz and Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink are the last two books I’ve read. Unfortunately most of my reading is for work and my downtime is me reading fitness related stuff or playing with my kids. I used to read a lot but I honestly just don’t make time for it. My kids are at that age where I’m busy af. Lame excuse I know.
