March 2024 Reading
Another slow month for reading. But, I think I've determined that trying to read nonfiction during the school year is a mistake. I don't have the mental capacity to absorb information at the end of the day. I ended up slipping into some comfort fiction for the month while I slowly worked my way through a book about the six raw materials that changed the world. More on that one in May.
Leviathan Wakes - James SA Corey
I've read this book a couple of times, but I found myself back in it last month. I had finished watching The Expanse on Amazon Prime and decided to go back and read it again. It's a great series which sucks me in every time and I'm sure I'll find myself back in that universe again.
Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton
I don't know why I picked this one up again, but I did. I think I had made a joke at dinner about movies good to watch with small kids and I decided to A) watch the move one night (Mrs. OhheyBrian was sick) and then B) re-read the book and compare the stories. I had forgotten about how much detail differed between the two. I remember the movie as being one of the first "growup" movies I was allowed to watch as a kid, so it feels nostalgia. The book doesn't have as much of a landmark on my memory, but I think I prefer the book to the film.
I'm hoping to find more mental energy to read more new-to-me material in April. I have a couple on hold from the library that should make my next update.
