My Current Reading List

CODE, The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software, by Charles Petzold, 2000 - A look at the development of digital communication and computing, from light signals to digital binary code

The Last Ranch - A Novel of the New American West, by Michael McGarrity, 2016 - the third in a series of fictional historical novels, tracing the roots of McGarrity's modern fictional New Mexico law officer Kevin Kerney. Throughout the series, McGarrity creates a spectacular sense of place and time as Kerney family members work their way across the American West, finally settling in New Mexico's Tularosa Basin.
