Figured this would be a good summer topic but couldn’t find the old thread. Please merge this in there if it’s still up Turbine.

So what is everyone reading currently? Just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy. As a father with a young son, that was a rough one to get through. Definitely gotta lighten it up for the next book.

The Road was a gut punch. I had to put down Blood Meridian a couple of times to get through it. The Border Trilogy was excellent as well.
Right now I am working my way through On Desperate Ground, about the Korean War and really enjoying The Code Breaker about Jennifer Doudna and her work in gene editing. I am not usually a biography fan but I like the way Isaacson writes so I may try some of his others. BTW he is a NOLA guy.

I love all of McCarthy's books. I just finished the crossing.
Currently reading The West bank of Greater New Orleans by Campanella.

I just used the rod of correction with my boys as they were growing up. That is the cardboard part between the wire on a pants hanger. The rod of correction always stayed around but was rarely, rarely used. It was amazing how much influence a useless piece of cardboard could have when presented in an effective fashion . . . Speak softly and carry the rod of correction . . .

PS: this is the only reading necessary

I’m getting ready to read “Out of the Shadow of Leprosy The Carville Letters and Stories of the Landry Family” by Claire Manes.

And continuously going thru The Bible, plowing thru the Old Testament presently. Reminds me of how brutal mankind can be.

The Imperfect Church
By Mark Cox

I’ll put that one on my list. The business side of religion is often over valued, since we’re all flawed humans. And people forget this.
