Just starting this one today. Winner of the 1991 Hammett Prize as the Best Crime Novel of the Year... I think it was even a TV series, very briefly, when the author was at his peak of popularity in the 90s after the success of GET SHORTY, etc., etc.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was, with Beau Bridges as Bob. Only lasted about 6 or 7 episodes, though. 

I'm still reading GHOST HUNTER. Haven't had a lot of time to read, unfortunately.

About a third of the way through The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher. It is informative about Social Media’s rise to power and how we have changed as a result.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by R. A. Heinlein
Not the first time, more like the the sixth.

The End of the World Is Just The Beginning by Peter Ziehan. So far a bit unsettling.

Just finished this one, which is the book that accompanied the 1978 BBC television series of the same name. I enjoyed it enough that I picked up another non-fiction book by James Burke that was written in the same spirit.

Now starting on this one. I read one of the author's earlier books about ten years ago and enjoyed it. I decided to read more non-fiction this year so Michio Kaku went back on my TBR List.
