Lonesome Dove on audiobook. The production quality is pretty bad, but the story is good.

Perfect Victims And The Politics of Appeal by Mohammed El-Kurd
It seems to have nice reviews, what do you think about it? Does it cover the conflict for mostly ignorant?
if you are interested in books for the mostly ignorant may I recommend instead: Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide by Ben White
Ten Myths about Israel by Ilan Pappé
The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017 by Rashid Khalidi
For more on israel's crimes: The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappé

Environmental Warfare in Gaza: Colonial Violence and New Landscapes of Resistance by Shourideh C. Molavi
Gaza Unsilenced edited by Laila El-Haddad and Refaat Alareer
you may have heard of Refaat Alareer, a prominent Palestinian writer and poet who was assassinated (very much the same way Ghassan Kanafani was) in December 2023. There is a collection of his poems and writings released in memory of him in 2024 called If I Must Die: Poetry and Prose that is also worth a read. There are also way more books, fiction or nonfiction, by Palestinian authors that are very much worthwhile once one gets a better understanding of the history of settler colonialism.
Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at these.
Just finished Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos rising. Next up, the second in the series.
It was such a great book. I can't wait to read the rest of the series

Can't believe I never got around to it on the first go-round, but Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity."
I'm still reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. My area had some unexpected weather a couple weeks ago so I've been off my usual routine.
The book is good and I'm about half way through. I want to finish it by tomorrow.
Nice. I should read it sometimes too. It has been on my backlog for so long.
Listening to the Salvation sequence by Peter F Hamilton.
And reading, A most elegant equation by David Stipp.
Currently reading Food And Society In Classical Antiquity.
