Picked up this tale of a larger-than-life Hollywood story after hearing people talk it up in various podcasts over the last year or so. Looking forward to great stories about the 1960s and 1970s movie business.
Time for some fiction—getting back to Tolkien for a bit. Got this when it came out and added it to the stack of things to read and soon forgot about it. Not sure. why.
Picked up a copy of Cosmos recently after reading Age of Wonder. time to learn more about astronomy after reading so much about Herschel.
Summary: Good read, want to see the show on TV or online soon.
Saw this had come out in paperback, so I picked up a copy.
Quite good. Traced the develpment of recording tech during Sinatra's career, especially in the Columbia and Capitol eras. A good followup on the topic after having read the Bing Crosby bio earlier this year.
Picked up this based on a review in Time magazine.
Picked this up as a result of a couple recommendations. So far, so good.
Just on a John McPhee kick for a bit. Learning about 18-wheelers, barges, ocean tanker training, and coal trains.
Plucked this out of the bookcase over the weekend—didn't even realize I owned it. Bought it used some time ago, I guess. Should be easier going than Assembling California or The Control of Nature. Finished July 10.
