Each book is ranked on a 5-star scale (5 is best). ** A River in Darkness: One Man’s Escape from North Korea. Heart-breaking, haunting, and deeply insightful, this look at one man’s journey through his life in North Korea is like nothing I’ve ever read before. Amazon’s description of A River of Darkness: The harrowing true story of one man’s life in—and subsequent escape from—North Korea, one of the world’s most brutal totalitarian regimes.

But my guess is that not much will change, the outrage will move onto something else (hey – what happened to North Korea?), A law with good intentions, but horrible side effects, passed yesterday. You probably haven’t heard about it because of the brouhaha over 97,513 other things. It’s called SESTA/FOSTA and the EFF has a good summary of how Lawmakers Failed to Separate Their Good Intentions from Bad Law.

Instead, this column is about nothing more important than the weather. For about 90 minutes Thursday evening , it snowed in Austin. This is a very rare occurrence for Central Texas, particularly given the much warmer winter temperatures over the last few years. These brief flurries gave many of us a temporary respite from the non-stop cycle of noise that has been 2017. Most of the snow melted later last night —and the white stuff should be completely gone by early morning Friday. But it felt so good to be liberated from all these crises, if even for a short time.

A River in Darkness: One Man’s Escape from North Korea ** ( my write up ). Many of you know that I’m on a mission to read 52 books this year. A book a week. The previous two years I averaged about 35 books, so I thought upping that to 52 would be doable. Not easy, but doable. And somehow, someway, I’m actually ahead of schedule. I’ve read 41 books so far and there are 17 weeks left in the year.

I am stunned over this #trafficgate scandal where Chris Christie apparently caused a bunch of traffic with some fake road closures in order to strongarm another politico into getting his support. Just stunned. that people don''t think this kind of thing goes on everyday. And stunned that we think this is anywhere near the worst of it.

A River in Darkness: One Man’s Escape from North Korea ( my write up ) – Wow. I decided to make a lofty reading goal this year of reading 52 books – one book per week. I read actual, physical books. I read Kindle books. And I listened to Audible books. More on how I did it. When you read that many books, there are bound to be some duds and some studs.
