"We saw it…. the hussars let loose their horses. God, what power! They ran through the smoke and the sound was like that of a thousand blacksmiths beating with a thousand hammers
They rush on to the Swedes! They crash into the Swedish riters…. Overwhelm them! They crash into the second regiment - Overwhelmed! Resistance collapses, dissolves, they move forward as easily as if they were parading on a grand boulevard

Moby's autobiography.
Pretty good.
Re-reading Andromeda Strain by Crichton. He got a lot right in this one, and I don't think he ever really topped it. He had better books, but this one had the best guitar solo so to speak.

Bought it 2 months ago, but finally getting around to reading 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson. I'm a bit of a psychology nerd, but this one is more entertaining and enlightening than most. Really good read so far.
BoomTown. Awesome book of Oklahoma City History. From before the landrun, through to the current city. It jumps back and forth between the history in chronological order with the 2012-13 OKC Thunder season (the infamous James Harden Trade season), and weaves a fun analogy between the sudden emergence of the City and the sudden appearance of the Thunder and their respective success.
OKC has such a rich, entertaining, and surprising History, and Sam Anderson does a great job of weaving it all together.
