Barnes & Noble's plans

Great story in the Wall Street Journal about Waterstone's CEO, his successful turnaround, and his plans for Barnes & Noble. The model? Independent bookstores! (May require subscription? I hope not.) https://www.wsj.com/articles/british-...

books to read

I'm looking forward to finishing The Mutiny Girl, reading Daemon, as well as Daniel Silva's latest--which also has Girl in the title. Right-if it works once, let's repeat it 20000 times. :-)

Not a "girl" book but good reviews nonetheless:

San Antonio

If you're in the vicinity (and in TX anything within 100 miles is "nearby") stop by Barnes & Noble in San Antonio Sunday, July 28, 1-3 PM at Bandera Pointe, 11711 Bandera Road. We can talk about The Second Law, other books you're reading, energy, or cybersecurity.
Summer reading is the best!
