Shaara’s newest release.

I’ve read all of his books and enjoy his writing style when it comes to historical fiction

The Palace of Treason. The second book in the trilogy after Red Sparrow. I Am Pilgrim is my favorite spy novel, but these two are a close second.

Jazz: A History of America’s Music, Geoffrey Ward and Ken Burns.

So far, it’s been a great read.

Baudrillard upstream! Cool. What a wild thinker. Had to write an essay on him once at uni and it hurt.

Camus is an old favorite of mine; I also have liked some Bellow I've read. You might consider also John Barth if you haven't read his writings!!!!

I switched up as I got started on two others while waiting. I'm finishing an audio version of Joyce's Ulysses and working on Kindle on Moby Dick. For whatever reason I'd never read the latter. Really enjoying it!!! The S and T F will be next as audible while commuting and running!!!

Love Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged is my all time favorite.

Reading from The Fifth Science by Exurb1a. I am a sci-fi fan and my son suggested it. Funny testimonials on the cover: "I didn't enjoy your other books. This one was no exception" and "I liked the bit when it was over."

I read this one last year. So tragic. Very well written and researched.
