Reentry: SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the Reusable Rockets that Launched a Second Space Age by Eric Berger
A sequel to his previous book on SpaceX this covers 2008 to 2023 and concentrates on the development of Falcon 9. Very good, recommended 4/5
Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film by Peter Biskind
Publish 2004 the books is 70% Miramax & 10% Sundance. Lots of crazy Miramax and Hollywood stories. Fun and interesting to read 4/5
Hope I Get Old Before I Die: Why Rock Stars Never Retire by David Hepworth
A fun romp though the unexpected 3rd Act of 60s and 70s Music Stars since 1985. Full of amusing stories delivered with Hepworth’s usual witty style 4/5
Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams
An insider’s stories of Facebook (and a Shark attack). Lots of nuts stuff and good yarns the reflect pretty negatively. Although the author seems too good to be true. 4/5
