Reads listed by subject matter not formal title.

This Bio of my life readings has brought me through 8 decades of fairly happy life.

I read a few things in Law School, and Business School, but nothing of any long-term interest or value.

Also at Navy Justice School. Nothing worth remembering.

Today I read mostly Heinlein. His wrote about survival, and how the world changes.

Today is 16 Feb 2026. I may read more things. Most of my family live to be over 100.
