Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver.

Travels with Charlie in Search of America by John Steinbeck.

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Martin Freeman does a great reading of the whole series.

Or "Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency" and the follow up "the long dark tea-time of the soul"

I'm a Douglas Adams fan 🤷

Kitchen Confidential. Love the stories and the obvious love for food that comes through.

I’m going to Japan later this year … my interest was first sparked by Bourdain’s writing in Kitchen Confidential.

@psr1973.bsky.social will read this to you for $0.25 per minute for the first 10 minutes, then $4.99 per minute after that.

There's been some kind of mistake, the actual rates are $50.00 per minute for the first minute and $300 per minute after that. Thank you for your business

Steve gets the friends and family discount. Read your contract, Phil.

That IS the friends and family discount.

When it absolutely positively has to be there overnight

What did you end up going with?

I went with “The Soul of Baseball” by Joe Posnanski. It’s my favorite book and I decided that I needed it’s comfort and positive vibes

I just looked it up - I don’t know how I missed it! I adored Buck O’Neil in Ken Burns’ documentary. Just downloaded the audiobook. ⚾️

I hope you love it, I reread it about once a year

If you like police procedurals, the DC Smith series by Peter Grainger is very well done. For nonfiction, I always recommend the Lost City of Z by David Grann. Well researched, and “reads” like fiction.

Lost City of Z has been on my list for a while! I need to get on it
