OK - I’ll wade in too.
For stimulating relaxation I read murder mysteries. Examples: the Paul Doiron series (Maine game warden) and Linda Costillo’s Kate Burkholder series (Amish Police Chief). Brad Meltzer is awesome. I’ve read everything by Gerri Hill. I second Jen’s love of All Creatures Great and Small. I will also pick up the Winnie the Pooh books now and then and read a chapter or two.
I love engineering failure books, presidential biographies, World war 2 history with a particular interest in the individual experience, civil rights history and I’m currently reading some recent political books that I won’t specify for obvious reasons.

Id love to read a future expose on Boeing right now. Some insider reveals the actual events.

I've been watching a fantasy science fiction drama called For All Mankind. In it, the Soviets land on the moon first and history unravels differently. The main scientist for NASA Werner Van Braun states in a scene that all bureaucracies are corrupt. A part fails on a Saturn rocket it turns out and why is because a politician wanted a part made near his area to boost his campaign. I feel this is too close to reality

Likewise, Mike, and considering the fact that I fought off cancer last year, all is more than well. I am still not fully up to speed, but getting there. That is not what kept me away, though. It was a heavy workload, but now I have a new young, enthusiastic and very talented coworker to help me out end eventually take over.

Haste Makes Waste
I re-read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories of Sherlock Holmes and Brigadier Gerard every couple of years. I also re-read Jack London's stories. Joseph Heywood's stories about a Michigan Game Warden solving mysteries were ok.

I don't read much new stuff because it all seems to be very similar. It's like AI started 20 or 30 years ago in literature.

So lately, "as in the past couple years," I've been reading an author named Glynn Stewart. He's very prolific—like a book a month. He's a pulp writer, and he writes multiple serial sci-fi series and a couple of urban fantasy series, too. His books are too addictive to me, especially his Starship Mage series, which has about 15 books now. When a new one comes out, I order it, and three days later, it's done.
