Thanks for the reco. I enjoy Scalzi but haven’t read the Old Man’s War series. Look forward to it. Just started Corey’s The Expanse series.

I mostly “read” Scalzi novels via audiobook, and one of the things I enjoy most is that many of them are narrated by Will Wheaton (although not the Old Man’s War series). He does a very good job with them.
Oh great! I like Will Wheaton.

I’m in the midst of slowly rereading Atlas Shrugged to see if I look at it differently from a more mature perspective

And how is your “more mature perspective” relating? Catcher in the Rye seems rather typical of some teenagers but was a revealing and controversial book at the time it was published, early 1950s.**

I didn’t realize how many I’ve read this year:
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
Silas Marner by George Eliot
Candide by Voltaire
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
All the President’s Men by Carl Bernstein and Robert Woodward
The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
I’m currently reading Call of the Wild by Jack London. I’ve been trying to read children’s classics that for some reason I missed when I was growing up.

There are many great children’s and YA novels. I need to add a few to my retro-reading self challenge.
