What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech
-
Just starting into The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.
-
Currently reading "Every word is a bird we teach to sing" by Daniel Tammet. Daniel was the subject of documentaries due to being one of the greatest savants in the world. He experiences a synaesthetic and emotional response for numbers and words. The book is a study on language and how things change dramatically depending on the way it is used or the culture. He's a very fascinating person and has a very unique thought process. I have enjoyed this one so much that I will likely buy all of his books in the near future.

Currently on All the Weyrs of Pern

Does NIST Special Publication 800-53 r4 count as "outside of tech"?
If not then I did start re-reading Monstress Vol 3 by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda. (graphic novel), so I could move onto all the individual issues that came out after that which haven't been released in graphic novel format yet.

My daughter just finished reading The Illiad (Fagles) for one of her online classics reading courses (we home school).
We had great discussions about the very descriptive gore sequences so it's sitting on top of my Next to Read pile as I'm reading a new canon "Last Shot" which is meh. I'll finish it just 'cause.
EDIT: And the gods, and the characters, and their crazy ways as far as the Illiad goes.

We're now about 3/4 the way through the book. It's a decent book so far. Don't tell my kid, but I'm going to read it again after we finish, lol.

So as we pack to move I am very carefully unloading books that I don't feel that we should store, ship, and unpack in a foreign country. But it's hard, I own SO many books still, even after going through this process many times, and there are many that are like unread or I want to read with my kids. But HB had a deal on RA Salvatore books this week, so I bought like 20 RAS Drizzt titles and then was happy to put all of those physical books into donation boxes. That freed up a lot of moving box space!
