What's everyone reading?

Just finished Chasing Evil by Bob Hilland and John Edward. Hilland is a FBI agent and Edward is a psychic. Hilland was a non-believer cynic and Edward didn't like working with law enforcement, but forces brought them together to solve a cold case, then they continued to work together for 20+ years solving many cases. I am VERY skeptical about psychics too, but the evidence Edward "saw" leading to crime case resolutions is amazing.

Now I have started Grand Slam for God by Fr. Burke Masters. He grew up non-Catholic, but went to a Catholic high school where he was exposed to Catholic teachings. He went on to Mississippi State to play baseball and was on track for a professional career (he hit a grand slam in 9th inning to send MSU to CWS in 1990). I am only 1/4 way through, but somewhere along his route to MLB, he changed and became a priest instead.

I'm on book 5 of Dungeon Crawler Carl. This book series is demented in the best way.

I've read the Tomorrow book. If I'm remembering correctly it was a frustratingly good read.

I've been listening to the Joe Pickett series during chores. He is delving into right wing talking points later in the series but I'm so close to finishing it I want to see it through.

Reading Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. It has been pretty interesting so far, reinforcing our decisions around youth sports so I'm probably biased in my review.

Range is good. Coincidentally, his latest book is about thinking “inside the box,” which seems to run counter to the Range theory.

Wife got me a kindle to start reading again. Got away from it after college, and need the mental break from (waves everywhere). Dungeon Crawler Carl is my first batch back into it and loving it. Currently on book 7.

I’m reading Bankrupting the Enemy: The US Financial Siege of Japan Before Pearl Harbor. It’s very interesting, but Economics heavy. I rather enjoy economics, but for someone who doesn’t, I would not recommend it.

Basically, what I’ve gathered so far is, other than Japan being yen bloc, rather than on the dollar standard, women’s clothing/hosiery was critical. DuPont inventing nylon essentially broke Japan. Japan had a monopoly on silk, which US consumers loved. Once nylon was out there and available, a silk embargo crippled Japan.
