Finished the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly. The writer was costing me money (in a good way) because of all the music he had Bosch listening to. I learned quite a bit about jazz musicians ... here's the music list: https://www.michaelconnelly.com/extras/music/

Now it's on to Brad Thor's series with Scot Harvath as the main character.

I need to start it back up, but two that I was reading for a while was The Divine Comedy and The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft. The Divine Comedy actually isn't as hard to read as I thought it would be, although the translator notes at the end of each canto helps a lot in that. The Complete Fiction is just how it sounds, all of the short stories that Lovecraft created in one book. As much as I love his work, I'll admit some of his stuff can be a bit slow and hard to stay invested in.

Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World, Laura Spinney 2017

introduction quotes:

In terms of single events causing major loss of life, it surpassed the First World War (17 million dead), the Second World War (60 million dead) and possibly both put together. It was the greatest tidal wave of death since the Black Death, perhaps in the whole of human history.

...

Most of the death occurred in the thirteen weeks between mid-September and mid-December 1918.

I'm reading The Stand by Stephen King. A few years after it was published Mad Max II came out. They could've got the inspiration for the feral kid from this book

Read absolutely everything ever written by Stephen King and "The Stand" is my favorite hands down...I read it twice!

I'm almost halfway through, not really a big King fan but this is really good hope the ending does it justice. Another book I read years ago which I enjoyed was The Talisman, I love the atmosphere and some of the characters.
