Nicholas Driscoll is 58% done with Mushrooms on the Moor
“What the wise man said was that fear is the beginning of wisdom. And as the beginning of wisdom it has a certain initial and preparatory value. The sooner that the beginning is developed and brought to a climax, the better of course it will be. But meanwhile a beginning is something. It is a step in the right direction. It is the learning of the alphabet. It is the earnest and promise of much that is to come.”

Mushrooms on the Moor

Nicholas Driscoll is starting Paying the Land
I find this book nearly impossible to read on my Kindle because its formatting is so bad, so it's probably going to be a while before I finish reading it.

Nicholas Driscoll is starting Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic
I am maybe two hours into this book so far (listening to the audio book), and there is just so much to remember! So doctors started using more and more opiates to treat pain because new opiate drugs were on the market and the stigma against opiates were coming down. The idea that pain relief was a human right also became ascendant. Many of these doctors used opiates a lot for cancer patients. Poor research done also.

Nicholas Driscoll is starting The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes
I finished A Study in Scarlet. Holmes is such a conceited jerk! Also, the sudden and VERY jarring switch to a story about evil Mormons was REALLY annoying. Still, having recently read the manga adaptation of the BBC show's adaptation of this story, it was really interesting to compare the two!
