The start of the book was slow reading for me but it picked up quickly. An interesting story of a valet robot that goes on a hero's journey and makes a friend along the way. #Bookstodon

The phrase "the encrypted carbons of past geological eras" is such a lovely way to refer to past carbon sources (coal? oil? ???) that have been sequestered and hidden away for long periods. #Bookstodon

Immediately I'm grabbed by Chesbro's excellent description of Mongo's potential client Mike Foster. The authorial intent is to quickly establish that Mongo is a very observant person which servers him well as a detective. A layer back it indicates that Chesbro himself was a very observant person. I'm already sold that this re-read is going to be worth the time. But I'm likely going to spread the books out some to avoid rushing. (And I have a long TBR of living, working authors to read as well that I didn't want to ignore.) #Bookstodon

I'm re-reading George C. Chesbro's books about Mongo the Magnificent several decades after originally reading them. From what I recall and given Mr. Chesbro's profession as a counselor for troubled teens I'm expecting pretty much everything in the stories to hold up very well despite the passage of time.

If you are interested in learning more about Mr. Chesbro's life I highly recommend reading Prism: A Memoir as Fiction. As the title implies, it is a fictionalized memoir. I didn't know how true to his life it is, but it is definitely informative and moving. He doesn't shy from covering his failures as a parent, spouse and counselor,. After reading it I consider him a good, but flawed person (like the rest of us) who did see his flaws and at least attempt to improve (also hopefully like the rest of us). #Bookstodon

5 out of 5 stars Kudos to Mr. Scalzi on an excellent addition to the Old Man's War series. The main characters Gretchen and Ran (minor characters from The Last Colony) are very compelling and the story is engaging with many unexpected twists. #Bookstodon

5 out of 5 stars An interesting story with good character development. A twist that I didn't expect but it fit well in the story. #Bookstodon

5 out of 5 stars Again the flock find themselves solving a murder mystery (or even two) in France. This time they are experienced but will that be enough in the end? A thoroughly good read with great characters and unexpected twists and turns. #Bookstodon

Paru avec un peu de retard, mais ça y est 🥳

Où un texte antique est (encore) sauvé de la disparition par les petites manies d'un intello carolingien (Florus)

La lettre aux moines d'un évêque Valérien (qu'on n'est pas sûr d'identifier par ailleurs) n'avait jamais été rééditée depuis 1612… et elle avait un petit trou. C'est réparé 🛠️

Un livre illustré qui explique aux enfants ce que peut être l'anarchie, mais sans entrer dans le politique, tout réside dans l'explication de possibles actions et modes de vie. Je vais le laisser trainer pour que mes enfants le lisent.

Ce tome marque la fin de l'histoire des tomes 1a 4 et des certaines des histoires compilées dans le tome 0. En 1610, kogaratsu découvre que le fils de son maître est vivant et qu'il n'est pas mort avec ses parents lors de la prise du château 13 ans plus tôt. Les exploit du héros en vue de reprendre le château et en fil une histoire d'amour impossible. Le dessin est dynamique, il me semble qu'il est aussi très documenté.pas d'incohérences bref c'est sympa. #bd #japon #medieval #bookstodon

Back in 2006 I wanted to self host my mail. After two weeks of feeling with a bunch of howtos from the linux documentation project I gave up. That was also probably due to me getting free email hosting from google. When that offer ended, I thought about self hosting again , this time documentation was way better. This book is huge howtos and covers everything email related. The protocols, the history. It also provides exemples, sequencing : what to do first and then. I've been using email and managing some email related domains for 25ish years. I've learned a lot and would recommend that every sysadmin reads this book.

An interesting set of locked door mysteries from the Golden Age of detective fiction (roughly the 1920s and 1930s). Fourteen interesting and ingenious tales with unexpected twists and turns along the way. I particularly enjoyed the Ellery Queen's The House of Haunts and C. Daly King’s The Episode of the Nail and the Requiem.

Warning that some of the stories do have dated attitudes, especially towards women (thus dropping the rating to four stars). #Bookstodon
