Metal Music Manual: Producing, Engineering, Mixing and Mastering by Mark Mynett.

Metal Music Manual by Mark Mynett

Am just over half the way through. Well written informative book on the subject. Very good.
Plan to use the knowledge to produce some metal, although I am not from a metal background.

Even more reason to read and do. As this is how you learn and how new things start.

SPQR by Mary Beard, and I’m finding it really interesting

Women, by Charles Bukowski.

Former skid row drunk, former post office employee, Henry Chinaski, is finally making himself known as a writer and a poet, and sees his emerging success as a means to cure his four year long dry spell without sex. A Christmas present from my wife, this is funny in a wonderfully juvenile way that only Bukowski could write.

Flaubert, Madame Bovary (1856)





I've never thought much of her morality, but I love Flaubert's writing.

I just finished this:

Simulcra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard.

I'm finding it a good source of media and literary analysis but I disagree with its understanding of how reality works. I find that his perspective is limited - he assumes his reader has the same experiences and demographics to him - but he's really prescient in how he basically foresaw our online world esp in terms of things like online marketplaces (eg Amazon) and online socialising (eg social media).

It's my first Bookriot challenge: read a book that you have been intimidated to read.

Explaining Humans by Dr Camilla Pang. I love and recommend it.

I've just started a second read of '12 Streams of LeConte' by my late friend, Jenny Bennett. She committed suicide in 2015. I still miss her terribly!

"Dear Devil" by Eric Frank Russell, first published in the May 1950 issue of Other Worlds Science Stories.

A Gay History Of Britain

Dark Web from Dean Koontz

Axiom's End by Lindsay Ellis

Us three by Ruth Jones

The Shadow of Blooming Grove: Warren G. Harding in his Times by Francis Russell. Who knew there was so much to know about Warren Harding?

I currently only read light stuff, stuff that isn't too challenging.

I'm currently reading Principia Mathematica and Finnegans Wake . Oh and a few select books on Quantum entanglement. plus the Dead sea Scrolls. In their original text form.
