PM - busy day - 20 miles on the treadmill in the afternoon- finished listening to an audiobook- Ready Player One - very entertaining. I would give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Nice running Bret.

My buddy Mike on the blog gave me a copy of that book, and given our age it was definitely a hit. The author just released his second book, in a similar vein. Not as good, but still entertaining.

Yeah - not a genre that I would normally have been drawn to - but someone suggested I give it a read - and I actually quite enjoyed it. I read where Speilberg is going to direct the movie.
