have reread a couple african hunting books; the reprint of african hunter, by bror von blixen-finecke - had the opportunity to visit the home he established in the karen district in 2015...the film with redford and streep was filming in and around that house. and capstick's death in the dark continent.
particularly enjoyed bill mauldin's the brass ring, a sort of a memoir - he was born a couple of miles away in karr cyn, on the western edge of the sacramento mtns.
presently rereading j.k. galbraith's financial euphoria, financial genius is before the fall - i suspect we will be lucky if there is not a bubble formed around artificial intelligence in the near term...
