Finally finished Plato’s “Laws” a few days ago and wrapped up Anthony Bourdain’s “Typhoid Mary” tonight.

Next in the list is Bourdain’s “The Bobby Gold Stories” and thinking I may bring in some Hemingway soon. It’s been too long since I’ve read him or possibly FSF. I love “The Jazz Age”

What are you reading or what have you completed lately?

Pardon my celebration, but adding and removing bookmarks on a page is so much easier than it has been for years! Tap to add. Tap to remove. Who would’ve thunk that a simple design pattern would take so long to implement.

I’m still reading Plato… Tough with two kids, and I’m also reading Typhoid Mary by Anthony Bourdain (RIP Tony. Love you and miss you man…)

All these years I’ve read from a Kindle I’ve never quite understood reasoning behind jailbreaking the device. Recently I looked into what DRM is and learned it is enforced by the publisher, itself, and I would think it is also based on contract agreements with author or estate, in some cases. It feels like same as music piracy in a way, but I also see the issue as I am writing this message. If you buy a book, you should be entitled to read it however you wish, however I do see the side of publisher in that you could just give the book to someone else and read it. In some ways I think this is good, and also not intended as a publisher or author, but also this is how books have been consumed for years’ prior to digital age. Book clubs, reading groups, little libraries, etc.

Discuss. I’m open to hearing more about this and views from others.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
