This is good stuff thread 2.0

thanks for that…will check it out.

Finished a few audiobooks lately:

Masters of Atlantis, by Charles Portis, read by Jefferson Mays
If you saw or read secret life of walter mitty, there is a bit of that in terms of the exploration of the nuances of oblivious non-self-aware human foibles, wrapped up in a secret society, and Jefferson Mays is such a great narrator that he could read IKEA manuals and make it sound like poetic prose.

Saturn Run by John Sanford
Good scifi book that is more about the journey and the conspiracies and the humans that make up a space race to Saturn, than actually scifi itself. A good story with surprising turns.

Critical Mass by Daniel Suarez
a very good sequel to Delta-V, and resolved a ton of open items. Also some plausible future looks into issues/challenges/solutions for space expansion. On an investing note, I believe this is the biggest financial opp ever, but we are nowhere near understanding yet of which companies will benefit, plus it is likely many of those companies don’t even exist yet.

Earthside, by Dennis E. Taylor, read by Ray Porter
I have yet to read/listen to a book of his I do not like. Ray Porter always does a good job, too. This was a sequel to sort of like an alternative earth/primitive earth scenario and what it would be like to start a new society with limited resources yet the know-how of modern times.

For Movies:

Hadn’t been in a theater in quite a while…maybe since last Summer seeing “Nope”.

I watched the newest Ant-Man movie. And it was entertaining, if not a top offering by Marvel, and it introduced a fairly good new villain. For me, though, I am all about the eventual secret wars, and the greatest villain of all-time: Doctor Doom!
