What Book Are You Reading at the Moment?

:salute: Too bad that Harvey is wreaking havoc on us up here tonight and tomorrow, which is the first day of dove season. You'd like to come down and have some wing shooting with me just down from the church in more clement times.

My dad always starts dove season up near Chico where he grew up. We're in a heat wave right now so it should be about 120° up there

Currently, I am reading this new book on Steve Bannon:

I just started Moby Dick today.

"I savvy you. You savvy me. This man sleepy with you, savvy?"

I've reached chapter 101. I'm switching between print and audiobook. Frank Muller must be the greatest narrator of all time.

Too bad that Harvey is wreaking havoc on us up here tonight and tomorrow.

That is too bad, cousin, it's chilly, but crystal clear here right now, I've got the M31 Nebula through the telescope at the moment, the Andromeda Galaxy, 1 trillion stars, 220,000 light-years across, 2.5 million light-years away; bam.

2.5 million x 6 trillion miles away, and you can see it with the naked eye, or rather see it 2.5 million years ago that is.

Need to get out into the high desert somewhere, away from all light polution, then could see it clear as day, end to end it's as big in the sky as a full moon, it's just too dim to really get the full effect without the telescope unless you're in the middle of nowhere.

Need to rent some ATV's and go on long range desert star patrol.

Yeah, that's the one I've got too.

Finished Moby Dick. It's one of my best reading experiences ever. The last eight or so chapters must be among the the best uses of the English language ever to be put down on paper. I feel like a better person having experienced it.

Now I need to go back and decipher the whole thing.

Then something more frivolous.

Moby's what?

[Hastur]

Done with the Springsteen biography. It was easy reading. A lot of interesting anecdotes and some insights into how everything came about. A lot about his family and his recurring depressions. I would recommend it to anyone who considers him/herself a fan. It was refreshingly non political.

[Hastur]

Now to another classic I've never read.

[Alexander PhiAlipson]

Now to another classic I've never read.

That's a good one to read too deeply into.
