Taking a break from Titan, Ron Chernow’s huge 1998 bio of John D. Rockefeller Sr. I’m about a third of the way through it and am learning a lot about the Standard Oil tycoon. Quite interesting. I had no idea he was a zealous Baptist and thought he made so much money because he was doing the Lord’s work. Also, his monopolizing business policies were intended, at least in part, to even out some of the wild, ruinous price swings in the oil biz back then.
At the moment I’m listening to David Sedaris’s newest book, The Land and Its People, a collection of his public readings. Some very good, very funny essays in it.
Glad it got better for you; I enjoyed it all the way through. I know you already posted in it, S_W, but this thread may be of interest to others, as well: The trial of Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos)[sentenced to 11+ yrs, 18Nov2022]
Thanks - that sounds cool! I’ve added it to my audiobooks queue.
