Found a trilogy of cheesy murder mysteries set on the Outer Banks. The first one was good for background noise while I was sewing this week.

I've not read any of his books. Only just heard of him recently, because everyone on Threads seems to like this fantasy writer. Brandon Sanderson.

Sanderson is among the best of the best. His worst book is a riveting page turner. 'Just one more page' becomes 'just one more chapter' very easy with his books. His latest in his Stormlight Archive series landed today and Overdrive is no longer allowing MP3 downloads, the rat bastards!

It will join a few other series as perennial re-read material. Sanderson not only creates well-thought-out worlds and magic systems, but also creates wonderful characters.

There are 7 books (and counting) in the series, and a few shorts in his Cosmere Collection. The second arc, set in an 1800's wild west era, is finished, and the third arc, set in a modern era is reportedly coming. If you ever look at the ambitious scope of his Cosmere, of which the Mistborn and Stormlight series are but parts, you'll see he's unlikely to live long enough to complete it.

Bob Iger's autobiography. Among other things, Bob recalls how, as the head of ABC TV, they were still making the Roseanne show and how Roseanne would be too depressed in the morning to even get up from her bed, so he had to drive to her house and get her up and drive her to the set.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
