Since buying my Kindle, I have to admit that I’ve done a lot more reading. Here’s what’s been on my e-ink display this month:
- The Right Stuff by Thomas Wolfe looks at the build-up to NASA’s Mercury project, through the eyes of the original seven astronauts. It’s an excellent, excellent read for any nerd.
- Apollo by Charles Murray and Catherine Bly Cox chronicles the Apollo space program. While the book dives fairly deep in to the politics inside and outside of NASA in the 1960s, it’s not at all boring. The names that history has forgotten live on in this book.
- Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl retells the author’s time spent in Auschwitz and other concentration camps during World War II. It discusses the psychiatric toll that living without a reason to live takes on someone. I’ve been reading the paperback off and on for months, and have yet to finish it. It is intense.
