      @mclaincausey Really glad to hear that you’re enjoying it and,that the book will continue to be passed along. A couple of years ago this guy came up to me at the gym and says…You played drums you should read this. I thanked him and when I was finished I asked him if he wanted it back, he said no,if you know someone else who would like it pass it along.

            @GraemeE i saw this at Powells and was tempted to pick it up but I might just give it a listen on Libby. You're enjoying it?

              @Inorganic i read it a few years ago and just revisited the audio book a few weeks ago

              I really enjoyed it although it's not particularly uplifting

              I'm actually trading @mclaincausey for the charlie watts book he is reading so might as well put this in rotation after he is done with it

                @GraemeE and I’ll send that one back to you or elsewhere per your request. I have some books I’ll offer up here as well for sharing. It’s the IH Library 🤣

                                Ditto. Have you read “Beneath the Underdog,” Mingus’ autobiography?

                                    Re-reading (actually audio-book now) the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.
                                    These were written in the 90's and the plot is set to begin in the 2020's. Some hilarious projections of 1990's technology got me though. For example: they are still sending Fax on Mars in the future, and have video rental stores in Martian cities 🙂

                                          @Tago-Mago don't even get me started.. at least fax was somewhat digital. Was effectively unable to vote in the recent German elections, since a letter from DE to DK took 13 days! So we are left with fully analog exchange of letters, but with a dysfunctional mail service. Actually today the Danish Post (Post Nord) announced that it will stop all letter delivery from next year.

                                            @mclaincausey nope, at least not yet. It’s on my list to read this year though. I debating on whether reading that first or Saxophone Colossus by Levy. I’ve had the latter in the bookshelf for a minute, it’s just an intimidating read but I know I’ll breeze (relatively speaking lol) though it once I start.
