I recently finished issue 5 of the magazine The Home Computer Course, issued 1983. A delightfully dated magazine.
There's an article on computers in education, an article on cassette storage of programs, an overview of the BBC Micro Model B (a home computer popular in Britain), and other articles.
Note: I did not read the article "Gates and Adders", as it doesn't interest me.

I recently finished The Mammoth Book Of Historical Whodunits edited by Mike Ashley an excellent collection of short historical mysteries spanning the time from Ancient Egypt to early 20th century. There are many impossible mysteries among the stories and some rather obscure tales.
Just started reading Death My Darling Daughters aka. Death and the Dear Girls by Jonathan Stagge
also reading:
Flashpoint by John Russell Fearn

Recently finished issue 6 of The Home Computer Course, published 1983. Mostly good, but parts of it were dull.
But overall it's fascinating seeing computers discussed from an early 1980s viewpoint.

I finished reading Flashpoint by John Russell Fearn - a solid mystery, but I predicted the culprit pretty early
Started reading Sherlock Holmes: The Labyrinth Of Death by James Lovegrove

Just finished issue 7 of the magazine The Home Computer Course, published 1983.
Lots of dated fun, my favourite articles were those on silicon chips, the Dragon 32 home computer, and computer monitors, all as discussed from a 1983 perspective. Fun!!

Just finished issue 8 of The Home Computer Course, published 1983. Interesting to see things such as synthesizers, sprite graphics, light pens, and the Jupiter Ace computer discussed from a 1983 perspective. Very enjoyable reading.
The Jupiter Ace computer was not a success. Although cheap, it suffered from being poorly-made and having a limited specification. Nevertheless, various items of software were released for it, including some fun games.

I read "Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline.
(Soon to be a movie - released March 2018.)
Really enjoyed it.
