An interview with Ace Frehly in Guitar World magazine. Not especially enlightening or interesting.

I finished reading The Martian by Andy Weir few minutes ago. The book is about an astronaut ending up stranded on Mars and the things done to rescue him. It was a light read. One would think the author would confuse readers by using technical terms but that was not the case. Most technical mumbo-jumbo was explained throughout the book.

I am not sure what to read next. I’ll have to plow through my collection to find a good read.

I’ll be reading Bossypants - Tina Fey and Colonel Roosevelt - Edmund Morris. Now…there will be characters from the previous two installments in Teddy Roosevelt series. I forgot the names of most of them. If the book doesn’t remind me who is who, I’ll be switching to Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. - Ron Chernow.

"Using cannabis or any drug is ultimately
a personal choice. What to do about legalization is a
political decision. But whether marijuana is dangerous
to the brain and can cause violence is a scientific
question, with a hard yes or no answer.

We have that answer. It’s time you heard it."

Stephen Pressfield, The Virtues of War: A Novel of Alexander the Great. I give it 8/10. But what the author is good at is imagining what ancient mass hand-to-hand combat would be like. His book about the 300 Spartans (Gates of Fire) was great about that.
