I'll start it off. I just started on the reprint of the 1889 second edition of History of the Campaign of Mobile by Christopher Columbus Andrews.

User manual for TI-34 Multiview calculator. The eldest son started seventh grade and is being mainstreamed so he is allowed to use the TI-34 to keep up in math class. I get to teach him how to use it. Thankfully I just started wearing bi-focals last year, that manual is freaking small.

I remember when the only calculator a seventh grader could use was their fingers.  ;D

An interesting reading list. The bi-focals/tri-focals are just a hazard of life for those of us that need glasses, bi-focals here.

Don't feel out of place. As long as you enjoy what you are reading is all that matters.

Battle at Sea:3000 years of Naval Warfare.  Its really more of a coffee table type book that caught my eye in the bargain section at my local Barnes and Nobles.  It basically summarizes the major naval engagements from ancient times, and the evolution of fighting ships.  When I'm done with it, I have to find my copy of Fighting Steel and re-install it.
