I am reading, well listening to, the Oz books.
Frank Baum wrote a whole series of Oz books. 10 of them with the Wizard of Oz being the first.
I am on book 4, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz.
A few weeks ago, a sale a day site sold 1000 audiobooks for $10.
How could I pass that up. Now most of the books do not date or age well(Mark Twain comes to mind, the language is very dated ), but I like the Oz books and will listen to the Doyle Sherlock series

A good book on the topic. Being from the Midwest, I knew little about wildfires. Everyone should read.
"How we have mismanaged fire over the last century—and the costs we’re paying".

Looks like a timely read. I'll see if I can pick it up locally.

It was an eye opener for me, I'm sure your library has it.

Right now I'm reading "Command and Control" by Eric Schlosser. Its a book about nuclear weapons and, in particular, an incident at a nuclear missile silo in Arkansas known as "the Damascus accident". I've just started but its thrilling thus far!
LOL you don't expect a B-52 would crash! Jesus ...

I just started reading House of Leaves after finishing 11/22/63.
The layout on some of the pages is unique to say the least.
