I don't like the "Fallers" life form or the stories surrounding them, 2/5 Stars. The story lines are also depressing.

The ten thousand doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
Fantastic, beautiful, great literature. This book is one of the top 10 I have read this year. 5/5 Stars.

Fwd: The Snail on the Slope by Boris & Arkady Strugatsky
I struggled with this one. If I had read the afterword before reading the story I would have enjoyed it much more. To understand the story, I think one must read it twice. I had no idea what was going on in the universe and was very confused. It is very well written but I did not infer the setting from the descriptions and actions. 2/5 Stars.

Chicago DevOpsDays
There is something for everyone in the videos and decks from DevOps days in Chicago. I love the lightning talks. A good guide to the talks is by Rich Burroughs here.
Did the truth even matter? by Pat Jones
The book is a little shrill and repetitive but also very timely during the current political climate in the USA. The massive destruction and evil power of fake news, unchecked concentration of power, accepted unethical behaviors, and bureaucratic incompetence deserves the bright light Pat shines on this microcosm of our society. It is unlikely the citizens of the greater Seattle area will ever discover the truth about the Bellevue high school football dynasty or disabuse themselves of the fake news they believe because of the Seattle Times headlines. But Pat's comprehensive data in the book are a noble, bright candle in the windy darkness. Highly recommended, 5/5 Stars.

Ballistic: The Palladium Wars book 2 by Marko Kloos
The story is still burning very slowly, as the secret forces behind the pirate terror are not revealed. 3/5 Stars. I wish the story would move a little faster.
The Sandman by Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs
Audible adapted the graphic novel to audio format. It's not terrible because Gaiman's story-telling is not completely destroyed by the DC universe. But it does the graphic novel little justice. 3/5 Stars.

Did the Truth even matter?
I just bought the epub version of this book. Buddha Baker and Myles Jack played with my son on 4 of those championship teams.
