WHAT have you finished reading recently? I finished a Fellowship of the Ring radio adaptation, but I don’t know if that counts…..so there’s also Amity Shlaes’ The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression. I know I need to review it, but I’m so very sick of thinking about monetary policy. (It showed up in my Carter, Roosevelt, and Reagan books!)

WHAT are you reading now? Reagan: The Life by H.W. Brands is my lunchtime read, and I’m more than halfway through. It’s extremely detailed. Also technically reading Into the Planet, a memoir of a cave-diver.

WHAT are you reading next? I need something fun. Yesterday I received an email that after a year and a half, I was finally next up to read Dune: Messiah. So, it’s possible I will begin that in advance of SF Month 2026.
