Lawrence English OBSERVATION OF BREATH (2021)
Happy New Year amigos!
Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O'Neill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Titanic work summarizing two decades from a fearless investigative journalist who has FOIA'ed and archive-mined his way to an understanding of the forces (COINTELPRO, Operation CHAOS, MK Ultra, etc.) at work in destabilizing the nascent Civil Rights and Peace movements of the 60's. Must-read for anyone interested in this pivotal period in American history. At least don't let your friends drop acid without reading this book first :-)

Elder & Kadavar ELDOVAR: A STORY OF DARKNESS & LIGHT (2021)
drinking in the American Legion, dice on the bar, horses on the set. good to know you're the biggest coward in the room for real.
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan DidionMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
An open-hearted invitation to share in her double-tragedy, and imagine how we could carry on. Living in the bargaining-zone of DABDA for a year must have been reality-warping. Illustrative of how many of us spent our lives covertly (even to ourselves) seeking control of situations totally beyond our power.
