Snowing Blackbirds, Take 2

I’m not saying I’ve learned a lot about cinematography. Especially not wildlife cinematography.

But I did manage to get a little bit of them in flight this time.

A little bit.

Okay, a very little bit.

The story itself is a slow burn and does have quiet short chapters which makes it good to pick up if you have a spare ten minutes. #scifi #geneticmodification #military #soldier #psych #thriller http://nlb.pub/Augmented

He's so opinionated!

The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI's Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals
it was amazing
The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI’s Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals
by John E. Douglas
I read this book because I worked in parallel fields for many years and also for research into some current writing projects. Anatomy of Motive is a good read, informative without going into horrific detail. A good source book.

Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace
it was ok
Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace
by D.T. Max
1) I vacillated between a 1 or 2 star rating for Every Love Story is a Ghost Story.
2) I read this side by side with Jonathan Eig’s "Ali: a life" (a better book if you’re into biographies, my opinion).
3) I opted to read Every Love Story…

Ali: A Life
it was ok
Ali: A Life
by Jonathan Eig
I’ll start by noting that Ali has been one of my heros for much of my adult life. Sometimes it’s good to learn some of our heros’ histories, other times not.
As biographies go, this was better than most I’ve read and seemed synoptic with…

Colossus:The Forbin Project
it was amazing
Colossus:The Forbin Project
by D.F. Jones
(I had to enter this book so apologize now for errors. I was surprised Goodreads didn’t have it).
This was the first recognizable "Man v Machine" book I read. I probably read others before this but this one came to me when I was working …

No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need
really liked it
No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need
by Naomi Klein
This is an interesting book that (in my opinion) doesn’t go far enough. Yes, some may claim there’s a problem and Klein does a dynamite job detailing what that problem is.
Where are the actionable solutions? Where are step by step plans…
