Currently reading:
Andrew Jackson his life and times by H.W. Brands & The librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe.
I’ll let you know how they finish but so far good reads.
Just finished, again:
We the living by Ayn Rand & We were the lucky one by Georgia Hunter.
What is everyone else reading? Always looking for new books to add to the list.
Who is John Galt?

The Martian, by Andy Weir. First-rate nerd-techno-survivalist thriller.

I read about a book a week. I read mostly non-fiction but occasionally I read a book of fiction.
Death in the Long Grass-- Peter Capstick Never Cry Wolf-- Farley Mowat Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas-- Frederick Douglas Tomorrow We will be killed-- Philip Gourevitch D-DAY-- Antony Beevor Scalps and Tomahawks-- Frederick Drimmer A Life In Secrets-- Sarah Helm The Handmaid's Tale-- Margaret Atwood Undaunted Courage-- Stephen Ambrosse As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me-- Josef M. Bauer The Silence of the North-Olive Fredrickson-- Ben East Black Flags, Blue Waters-- Eric Jay Dolin The Blue Tattoo-- Margot Mifflin Snowman--John Hornsby in the Barren Lands-- Malcom Waldron A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison-- James A. Seaver Friends Divided John Adams Thomas Jefferson--Gordon S. Wood Rising Tide-- John M. Barry This Tender Land-- William Kent Krueger Empire of the Summer Moon-- S.C. Gwynne The Girl Who Lived Twice-- David Lagercrantz The Early American Republic, 1790-1820-- David & Jeanne Heidler The Fabulous History of the Dismal Swamp-- Charles Royster The Calamity Papers-- Dale L. Walker Just Mercy-- Bryan Stevenson Iron Head-- Mel Ellis Hunting Charles Manson-- Lis Wiehl Becoming Teddy Roosevelt-- Andrew Vietze The Warmth of Other Suns-- Isabel Wilkerson Dead Wake-- Erik Larson The War the Women Lived-- Walter Sullivan
The only one I would not recommend is "The Girl Who Lived Twice". Don't bother with it. All the others are certainly worth reading. Right now I am reading Washington's End by Jonathan Horn.
I am interested in what you thought of "We Were the Lucky Ones".

I read for about an hour each night before turning in. I'm currently reading Goodbye To All That by Robert Graves. It's his memoirs about his service in WW I and the horrors he experienced in the trenches.
Eh...wot?

I am interested in what you thought of "We Were the Lucky Ones". I think you are the one who recommended it. I really enjoyed it. It is amazing how the family was separated and had to overcome so much. Really makes you think about some of the atrocities that humans have endured and have inflicted on others. It still amazes me how so many people were made to believe that things like that were ok and that it seemed to be so easily hidden from the world for a period of time.

As I previously said, I don't read much fiction. But, a few months ago I read "Where the Crawdads Sing", by Delia Owens. I would recommend the book.
