The Forever War by Joe Haldeman

5.0

What a great view of the way that war affects the mind and how that the time dilation and humanity has changed when the soldier has not.  

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

3.5

This book was very interesting and I see why many people love it. Hiro Protagonist and YT are fun characters and the Babel/Sumerian part of the book was very fun. Made you think. I was slightly let down by the ending but it made sense for the story. Probably won’t read again but glad I read it. 

The Order War by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

5.0

This one has been my favorite so far. Finally some balance in the war between Chaos and Order. 

For We Are Many by Dennis E. Taylor

fast-paced

4.0

Very good second book. 

American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House by Jon Meacham

4.0

This was a very well written biography about a powerful and influential President but he was not a good man. The actions that he took/made changed the country. Good book bad President. 

Learn to Earn: A Beginner's Guide to the Basics of Investing by John Rothchild, Peter Lynch

4.0

Great beginners guide to investing. I had heard about it for a few years and glad I found it on audiobook. Finished it in a single afternoon.  

Dead Beat by Jim Butcher

4.0

Good story instead of vampires this time we fight the dead. 

Broken Ascension by Dave Walsh

4.5

So far this is my favorite of the books I have read for the SPSFC and it was a great grow up fast because he has to book. It was also cool to see a young man feel like he has to take care of a baby. This was very good. 

The Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove

3.5

So what would the South look like it they actually won the war? I think this book takes a much more hopeful look at that speculative future. Very interesting though.
