Some of you all commented in the hobby thread that you all liked to read. I know there was a thread on here last year, but I thought it would be cool to start another thread about the books we are reading. So the question is what books are you currently reading\listening to?

I would post a pic of the book, but I have yet to figure out how to do that. The last book I finished was, Henry Clay: The Man Who Would Be President by James C Klotter, a retired professor at Georgetown College. This book is the second book I have read on Henry Clay. The first was a biography. This book focused more on Henry Clay's five failed attempts at becoming U.S.President. It was a decent book. If I was rating it on 5 star scale, I'd give it 3 1/2 stars. It was very informative and fairly well written, but not on par with a David McCullough written biography who I consider the gold standard.

Currently reading The Day The Catskills Cried. Just finished Mindhunter by John Douglas. He's a great author!

The only time that I buy paper versions of books is when they contain lots of technical illustrations or programming code. Having to constantly zoom and pan code is a pain.

Yes! I love the Kindle Paperwhite! They're the absolute best for reading. I love the one I have.

If I read a lot on one of my Kindles, it effects my eye site. Well, that and the fact that I'm a really old, washed up, middle aged, old geezer.
