Mark Reynolds is on page 67 of 151 of What the Buddha Taught: with Texts from Suttas and Dhammapada
"The Buddha was not a computing machine giving answers to whatever questions were put to him...He was a practical teacher...He did not answer questions to show his knowledge and intelligence, but to help the questioner on the way to realization."

Mark Reynolds is 10% done with 12 Seconds of Silence: How a Team of Inventors, Tinkerers, and Spies Took Down a Nazi Superweapon
The reader's voice is too annoying. I'm giving up, and perhaps reading the print book.

Mark Reynolds is 80% done with The Frozen Hours: A Novel of the Korean War
All wars are crazy. This (almost) personal account shows just how crazy they are.

Mark Reynolds is on page 23 of 380 of Bird of Passage: Recollections of a Physicist (Princeton Legacy Library)
Very illuminating look at the German university system in the 1920s. Of course there’s the typical discrimination against Jews, but also the advanced gymnasium requirements and the free form lecture attendance.

Mark Reynolds is on page 66 of 405 of John Von Neumann: The Scientific Genius Who Pioneered the Modern Computer, Game Theory, Nuclear Deterrence, and Much More
The first few chapters were primarily written by Stephen White - or based on his notes - when his unfinished work was passed on to Macrae. The first few chapters are a nice description of 1900 Budapest and the situation of the Jewish community there.
