See now the problem with Greg updating this thread via post editing is that it doesn't ttt, but I imagine the point here is like me, Greg stores a lot of his memories here and he wants that topmost post to grow more than the Reading books you've read before.... thread.
That being said, I'm updating this post like a normal DOOMer, at random, whenever I remember to do so.
Welcome to Karate by Bruce Costas. This is a book that I'm promoting for YMAA. It's an introduction and the first of a series based on Shotokan. It's a good beginner treatise and I'm looking forward to working on it.
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2019, edited by Sy Montgomery. This has been on my bedside nitestand for way too long. Stacy reads this compilation every year like I used to read the Best Magazine articles compilations, and she told me to Gary Greenberg's 'What If the Placebo Effect Is Not a Trick?" from the NYT magazine. That was great but what really got me was Ed Yong's 'When the Next Plague Hits' from The Atlantic. Yong is a chilling writer and he nailed it a year ahead (actually two - here's the original version https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...ts/561734/). I didn't read all of the other articles, but most of them.
