Read anything good lately?

[Winston Hughes]

I am currently reading Les Misérables is a French historical novel by Victor Hugo. This is one of the largest and one of the most incredibly deep and interesting books I have read. I have read half of the book, but I am already convinced that it will become one of my favorite stories for my whole life.

That sounds interesting. How did they clock the wheels? Cameras or sound?

It's quite dated, technologically speaking, but a shoe-based microcomputer, 6502, with toe switches for input and a vibrator for output. They worked as a team with one inputting data and another placing bets. They got pretty good at predicting in which quadrant the ball would land. It's a good read, although dated and with lots of digression.

I just read City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, which is a young adult fantasy with demons, vampires, and werewolves. I enjoyed it, it had a bit of a Buffy feeling but without the romance.

I just re-read The Eudaemonic Pie following a chat on a LV board about clocking roulette wheels.

With the book club dead maybe we can just talk about books we have read or plan to read.

My "aspirational" purchases are usually books I hope to have time to read, and looking back on recent purchases it has been:

• We are Bellingcat: Global Crime, Online Sleuths, and the Bold Future of News
• Putin's People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and Then Took On the West

Kind of an open source / behind the curtain theme. I'll let you know how they are.
