Andy is 48% done with Master and Commander (Aubrey & Maturin, #1)
Very tough going. Extreme detail in description of 18th century nautical stuff. Odd pacing and shifts from narrative to characters’ internal dialog. Characterization seems haphazard. So far unclear why these are so beloved.

Andy is 14% done with Destiny Rising (The Intrepid Saga #1-2)
Written by a former colleague who apparently cranks them out monthly!

I’m new to the “hard military sci-fi” genre but it’s holding my interest so far.

Andy is 15% done with Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements
Been wanting to read this since it was published 2 years ago. So far it’s just wonderful. I’ve been aware of the band and their mystique since around 1983 but never fully fell in love / embraced them, despite loving several of their songs. Anyone else read this?

Andy is on page 122 of 496 of The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet
Superb so far. Author has done significant research demonstrating how the low-fat recommendations that have become nutritional dogma for 40 years escaped some rudimentary scientific scrutiny. Legitimate dissenting scientific opinions were politically marginalized, etc. well paced and written.

Loving this. Well written and comes from a different angle than the other Beatles books I've read. Also great primary sources.
