Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan (2004)

 This is a great novel about a working class Irish gang of bank robbers in Charles Town, Massachusetts. This is about a lot of things- a heist story, gentrification, a love story etc.  Read it!

Breath, the New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor (2020)

Journalist James Nestor writes a great book about all aspects of breathing, from the science of it to yoga.  This is great.

The Brothers K by David James Duncan (1992)

 This is a novel that focuses on a family in Washington State from the 1950's to 1980.  The father, Papa Toe, was a minor league baseball player and coach.  The book is about baseball but also about so much more.  This is one of the best novels I've read.  It should be read slowly and savored.

The Sea of Galilee Boat by Shelley Wachsmann (1995)

 Book by an Israeli archaelogist who excavates a 2000 year old boat in the Sea of Galilee. It's a great story that tells us something about the Holy Land back in the day and these days about how to preserve ancient stuff.  And he's a good writer.  Read it!

Camino Winds by John Grisham 2020

 This is the second of this series by John Grisham. I'm not wild about the main character, Bruce, a wit who owns a bookstore.  The story was not that well told. I'm wondering if the Grish is running of steam, or maybe just hit a clunker.

Meet the Frugalwoods: Achieving Financial Independence through Simple Living by Elizabeth Willard Thames (2018)

 This is the personal journey of FIRE finance blogger Elizabeth Willard Thames to retirement at age 32.  It's pretty good writing, better than the blog, and a compelling account.  This is an important read.

Alone in Antarctica by Felicity Aston (2013)

 This is a personal account of a woman's ski trip across the Antarctic continent alone.  It's interesting how she keeps her sanity, or not.  At some point in the trip she starts talking to the sun, who becomes her best friend.  However, I don't think that much of her, as this is an ordeal by choice and although she didn't address I suspect it was potentially risky for others who would have to save her if things went south (so to speak).
