I visited the Canadian Rockies earlier in the year and at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta I learned of a book by Stephen J Gould...... Wonderful life. It describes work on the Burgess Shale fossils. I’m about finished .
I picked up Tacitus agin last week. He’s makes for good sleeping after a half hour or so.

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
Currently re-reading “One L” by Scott Turow, 1977, Warner Books About the author’s years at Harvard Law School..enjoy Turow’s writing- very clear and precise...But have not read any of his other books. Also reading “Piercing the Reich”,by Joseph Persico, 1979,Ballantine Books. About how
American agents penetrated Nazi Germany during WW II.
Just finished reading :Therese Neumann” by Tan Books, about the German Stigmatic, and prior to that “Wife, Mother and Mystic”, about the life of St. Anna Maria Taigi, who has been compared to Padre Pio for her many miraculous cures and gifts, also called one of the greatest saints in history. She was a contemporary of Napoleon.
Before that, I read The Secret Servant by Daniel Silva which someone upthread mentioned and recommended. This is an Israeli spy thriller-it is a series and is very current.
I am about to pick up an Ian Rankin book next..the Inspector Rebus series.
Re: Grisholm....I will never buy another book of his. I was going to give the ones I have by him away to the thrift shop but then I decided it might encourage whoever bought them to buy some of his books. So I will keep them, for now.
“Atlas Shrugged”—again.
“Enola Gay - The Bombing of Hiroshima”
The Prince of Darkness by Robert Novak and The Pearl by John Steinbeck.
If you have a ping list for these book threads, please include me.
am thinking of re-reading “ Paul Revere and the World he lived in “ by Forbes. Fantastic book which is not just about Revere but gives an account of life in colonial New England.
I just wish I had more time to read.
