I am reading a book by Taylor Jenkins Reid: Atmosphere.


Set against the backdrop of the 1980s NASA space program is a story about the extraordinary lengths of lesbian love… It captures your mind from the very beginning and I’m going to finish reading it tomorrow.

I’m currently reading American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center by William Langewiesche.
It’s difficult to hear some of these things even now, but the entire book is about perseverance and the tenacity of all the people involved with recovery after the terrorist attack.
The author, from what I understand, was a journalist at that time and was invited along to view the ruins with the engineers who were tasked with asserting the stability of the remaining structure in order to safely demolish or salvage what was left.
Engineering in general has become a huge interest of mine of late. Witnessing the post Helene reconstruction has given it a whole new dimension in my mind.
