    Reacher books are pretty good, but can get stale.

    I think the reacher books are easier for me to read. The Bourne stuff gets a little too descriptive for me. If that makes sense

    I've read them all but maybe the last two, or so, as it has been a few years.

    There is a formula, for sure.

    I've read all but the most recent. I didn't get into them until the last few years and blew through all of them within a couple of months. I've had the newest book in my desk drawer at the office since it came out, but can't bring myself to pick it up.

    To be fair though, I've been in a funk for the last few months with reading. Can't really get into anything.

    Peace Talks dropped today, for all you Harry Dresden fans. @NorrisAlan ?

    I have not read any of the Dresden Files, yet.

    Yet.

    It is something I need to do, as I have heard nothing but great things about this series.

    If you have a kindle or the like, I was able to get the entire series from my library.

    But that is true of all the books I read, although I bought Peace Talks so I wouldn't have to wait.

    Reading through Vicksburg now. Grant was a brilliant madman with gigantic marbles.

    Couldn't do another thing in life, but the man knew war.

    Whew this is a long read. 503 pages into it and still another 462 to go. Going to take a break once the Civil War section finished.

    Just finished Never Go Back, Jack Reacher. I like it, starting Brad Meltzer, The First Conspiracy tomorrow

    Bought in 2018 and finished it when COVID took off. It's okay. It's not a "fun" read.

    I found the intricacies within the athletic department fascinating.

    It was like reliving bad dreams. I think there were a couple of things I learned, but I thought there were a few avenues that remained untrodden or barely explored. Don't ask for specifics. I'm not rereading it just to figure out what I wanted discussed. That's just the feeling I remember being left with.

    Shoe Dog,

    Pretty neat about how Nike started with some hilarious stories along the way.
