Enjoy! He does a fantastic job of weaving the historic tapestry of this period.
When I’m at work I listen to audio books and the one I’m on now is so chilling it’s called White bones by Graham masterton it’s free on the audible app in the UK.
Yeah, I’ve seen that advertised a lot recently, it’s in my wish list. if you like the southern bayou then stephen kings bag of bones is a cracking read, beautifully written centering on the disappearance of a female blues singer it’s a pretty good movie too. Hope you get that interest back.

I just finished a phenomenal book . Bewilderment by Richard Powers. His previous book The Overstory and this one won a pulitzer prize. He’s a very gifted writer. I’m going to attemp to read a non-fiction Awakening From the Daydream reimagining the Buddha’s wheel of life and a novel My Dark Vanessa simultaneously.

My Dark Vanessa was quite something! I don’t know that I would say I “enjoyed” it…I did, however, find it intriguing, well written, disturbing and at times riveting.
My current read…just getting started…

Joe R Lansdale - More Better Deals and Moon Lake - pretty good if you like his style … and I am totally into his gritty style and metaphorical word salads
Octavia E Butler - Kindred and Survivor - these really grabbed me as stories constructed with a ton of detailed world building with feminist and racial concerns subtly flowing under the surface
Does anyone have a copy of Survivor that they’d like to sell me?
Adrian Tchaikovsky-Eyes of the Void … for more summer fun
The Good Marriage by Wallerstein and Blakeslee with my wife - we are trying to address our other issues besides the alcohol

Those are on the list - I’m reading Octavia Butler in somewhat publication order - Pattermaster and Dawn are next after I finish a Joe R Lansdale I got on inter-library loan - All the Earth, Thrown to the Sky.
My sobriety plan majors in reading Projects, author and book searches and public library and book store usage to keep my mind busy and free of cravings, stressors, and triggers.
When I was not sober, I truly forgot how much I loved reading. I talked about it but mostly fell asleep (passed out) or didn’t remember. When sober living kicked in and planning against relapse and non-drinking boredom kicked in, I recalled reading. I am reveling in the clear headed, mental pleasure I am getting. I have begun replacing an unhealthy habit/ addiction with a healthy one
