    The Postman was pretty good as was The Dog Stars. As a matter of fact, I think I would put The Dog Stars at the top of the list instead of Alas Babylon. Much more personal story concentrated on the two guys who survived together. I might have to re-read.

    I'm going pick up some bouidin at the "shambles."
    Speaking of the KJ Bible, we’re in a Bible study where guys have varying versions. It’s interesting, for one example, the editing of a NIV Bible in the last 20 years. The use of “and women/female” added to the phrase “men/male” and the use of the collective “they/them”.

    English is a moving language, as long as it keeps the original meaning based on how we talk now without trying to hide truth, Im all for it.

    There is a website called bible hub where you can type in a verse and see all the translations laid out together on same page

    About halfway through The Quiet Game by Greg Iles. Read a few of the books in this series in college. I remember enjoying them, so I decided to revisit.

    Our group is doing real time comparison/discussion verse by verse presently. We started Acts back around March/April, hitting halfway tomorrow. Nothing really controversial, but there is always a takeaway each study. Going to read Babb’s suggestion next.

    Ordered it, supposedly will be here Monday. I’m one who tries with all I am to avoid church politics, that’s why the title intrigues me.

    On Desperate Ground about the Korean War was very good. Amazing how unprepared the US military was for war so soon after WW2. The view of the top echelons of the military lines up pretty well with what I read in Hue 1968. The failure of the out of touch, and out of area, leaders to listen to the 'on the ground' guys was stunning.

    Did not finish the bio I started. Same as always I got bogged down!
    Finished Neptune's Inferno. Very interesting take on the US Navy's transitional period between sail and nuke powered and the logistical issues caused. Also the first uses if radar in naval battles and how it was uses, not used and misused. Good stuff for sure.
    Also finished Area 51 by Annie JAcobsen. Great read and quite interesting on how the govt maintains secrets. Some things were/are so classified that the President did not have access. That is crazy to me!
