I just picked up a book to read from Powell’s Books. I’m gonna spend Thanksgiving reading this book.

Here’s a link to reviews by other readers:

I was at Powell’s bookstore recently and found all three books for less than $10. When I have spare time to kill, I’m re-reading from this book series.

A very intriguing article in next months Smithsonian magazine.

Stimson proved to be adaptable in other ways. One day while she was conducting rounds, a soldier under her care said, “Major, the men don’t like to call you ma’am. Would it be all right if they called you sir?”

I wish I was reading The New Yorker magazine. They have a special that's about to end, $1 a week for a year. That's a great deal, but I have other things I need to spend $52 on. I could also get a one year subscription to Vanity Fair for $8, which is also a great deal but a poor substitute for TNY. Hmm.

I just read about a very interesting book featured on The Associated Press news website. Title of book: Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection (John Green, March 18th 2025).

John Green previously authored the best selling book from 2012: The Fault With All Our Stars.

I caved and got the one-year subscription to The New Yorker. It was the repetitive ads on Facebook that did me in - I was thinking about it all the time and wanting to read the teaser articles. That said, I'm sure it will be a well-spent $52; I have been thoroughly enjoying it, and it's wonderful to be able to go back through the archives. It's quickly becoming a daily habit.

We have very big rivers here in my hometown area. Sometimes our area is called “Bridge City” or “River City” or any number of ‘river’ type names due to all the many rivers here (Columbia, Willamette, Sandy, Clackamas, Nyberg and Tualatin, etc).

Today I bought a book off of Powell’s Books website. It’s going to be a good read, I think, because it’s written by Robert McFarlane, who is known for his documenting natural history and such.
