    Hunger Makes Me A Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein

    I was so surprised how good this book was, loved her writing style. I have somewhat of a connection as my cousin married her bandmate. There was lots of things about Corin I didn't know and a few things about my cousin (Lance), was strange to read some things.

    Even if you aren't a fan or know anything about Sleater-Kinney, I'd recommend this read.

    I just read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. So good. And a very quick read.

    Just started Me Before You by JoJo Moyes. Heard it's fantastic.

    Currently working on both "American Sniper" (at least I think that's what it's called) and the ESPN book. Both of them are my second time through. Both great reads.

    Ready Player One

    Oh my wow. This book is incredible. Best thing I've read in many years. If you grew up around 80s culture, and obviously video games, this is the book for you.

    I was so engrossed in this story that it has been just about all I could think about the 4 days it took me to read through it. I couldn't even concentrate at work because I needed to know what was going to happen.

    Read this nerdery book. It is SO good. And Steven Spielberg is making it into a movie set for 2018. I don't know how in any way it will be able to live up to the book.

    Just finished "A Farewell to Arms" by Hemingway. Really enjoyed it. Not always a fan of the emotionally static protagonist but this had plenty of detail and enjoyable storyline. Plus, the imagery was spot-on.

    Just started "Sons and Lovers."

    This sounds interesting. Fiction or non-fiction? I'm guessing the latter.
    Yeah, non fiction.

    The first chapter is about when to stop looking for something you want to maximize you chance of the best outcome. Such as if your looking for an apartment in a super hot market, how many should you look at before signing a contract? Or interviewing for a job, how many before you make an offer to get the best candidate. Turns out, it's 37%. Look at 37% of your total and then pick the best one after that that is better than all the others you've seen and that gives you the highest probability of success.

    Next chapter is about when to keep exploring vs. exploiting. Think of slot machines. Keep trying different ones or should you fine one that seems to be paying and stick with it? Think about restaurants. When your new in town you want to try a different one each night. But on your last night, are you still exploring? Nope, your exploiting by going to your favorite of them all.

    Now I'm on a chapter on how we as humans sort things in our lives.

    And all the theory in the book uses algorithms to apply to our lives. Pretty good stuff.

    Read "Snowbound" by Blake Crouch because a few people compared his writing to Stephen King's. Well, that book read absolutely nothing like a Stephen King book so I don't get the comparison. Enjoyable and fast paced though; read it in two days. Don't know if I'll pick up anything else by him though.
