Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse Book 1) Kindle Edition
I bought the Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse Book 1) a few years ago. My only complaint about the book is that you'll end up buying the others in the series. (It's been fun watching the series on Syfy and I'll follow it to Amazon Video.)
Right now, you can get the Kindle version for $2.99.

The Right Stuff
I recently finished Scott Kelly's Endurance. He credits Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff as being his inspiration for becoming an astronaut. I've seem the movie, but not read the book - so it's on my liast. You can get the Kindle version of The Right Stuff for $5 today.

Insert shocked face that anything like this could happen.

The Terror
So I'm not really sure how I started watching "The Terror" on AMC, but I was quickly hooked. I eventually realized that show was based on the book of the same name by Dan Simmons. I'd read all his Hyperion Cantos series.
The book is about an actual 1845 English expedition to find the Northwest Passage, but the story has been fictionalized and includes a strong mystical element. To borrow a quote from Armageddon, the arctic north is "the scariest environment imaginable."
I can't even begin to understand what would make men want to undertake this venture given the technology and resources of that day.
It's a long read, but definitely worth it ($8.99 Kindle Book).
(And the TV series is worth watching, too. You'll probably recognize at least a couple of the actors.)

C64 Mini
I need a miniature version of the Commodore 64 like I need a whole in the head. I still want one. A friend of mine had a VIC-20 when we were growing up.
