Seems we don't have many readers here, or at least not posters willing to list their recent reads. Here are mine.
My only recent significant hardcover purchase: The Engine that Could (Cruickshank) - the history and development of the diesel engine at Cummins. Good read for motor heads. Special order, but worth it. How they dealt with each development problem, and market acceptance, over 75 years.
A Year in Provence. We went to Provence on vacation so I wanted to see how many places I recognized
Guidebooks. Costa Brava, Barcelona, Provence, Tuscany. All relating to trips. Rough Guides, Frommer, Steves, DK, etc.
Baking artisan bread. Various books by Peter Reinhart, covering milling of wheat and ancient grains, natural yeasts, and baking.
Cooked, a Natural History of Transformation by Michael Pollan. Recommended.
13 novels by Nevil Shute, including Trustee From the Toolroom, A Town Like Alice, and On the Beach. Read them years ago, went back and read them in order again. Plus Slide Rule, his autobiography.
Thinking I should read Game of Thrones, but haven't started yet.
