Books: A Poll Result and a New List

[dewline]

You remember this poll?

Decided to go with an option unpicked to date by anyone: Stumptown Vol. 4: The Case of the Cup of Joe. Greg Rucka wrote it, he helped me out with some research on something I co-wrote a little over twenty years ago, and a lot of his stuff's entertained me over the decades since then. So he gets a little more of what I can spare, effective today. I pick the book up on Saturday.

Other titles I'm either reading, re-reading or trying to make time for right now, whether by my own finances or with the public library's help:

• Glimpses of Cumberland Township - For the Honour of Our Ancestors - Cumberland Township Historical Society
• The Red Atlas: How the Soviet Union Secretly Mapped the World by John Davies and Alexander J. Kent
• Star Trek: Discovery - Wonderlands by altariel
• Obscure Ottawa by Ray Corrin
• Earth by David Brin
• Chasing the Flame: One Man's Fight to Save the World by Samantha Power (Yes, she's a Biden appointee nowadays.)
• Surviving Autocracy by Masha Gessen
• Draplin Design Co. - Pretty Much Everything by Aaron James Draplin
• This Day in Vancouver by Jesse Donaldson
• How to Lie With Maps by Mark Monmonier
• On Property by Rinaldo Walcott
• The Library Book: An Overdue History of the Ottawa Public Library by Phil Jenkins
• Trumpocalypse by David Frum
• Tangled Up in Blue by Rosa Brooks
• Cartographic Grounds - Projecting the Landscape Imaginary by Jill Desimini and Charles Waldheim

Another incomplete list, and I'm not going to be able to get to all of them, anymore than I managed with the March 2021 list.
