"The Reckoning" by Charles Nicholl, about the murder of Christopher Marlowe. I've read it 3 or 4 times, but it's good enough to come back to every couple of years.
Next on the list is "The Colony," by John Tayman, about the exile settlement for victims of leprosy on Molokai in Hawaii. I don't know whether this will be any good, but the subject is certainly interesting.
"Parish Priest," the new biography of Father McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, should be arriving from Amazon by this weekend.
And my library reserve list has several books about hunting in different parts of the world. I'm trying to interest Anoreth in something besides fantasy!
Can anyone recommend a book about modern espionage techniques or technology? Bill has been reading some James Bond-ish type spy fiction (only without the girls :-), and I'd like to find some nonfiction on the subject for him.
Dear Lord above, someone took a picture of my study!
Let's see . . . what's in the bookbag right now? I'm working on a biography of Nell Gwyn (one of Charles II's mistresses), "The Well of Lost Plots" (Jasper Fforde is highly recommended for us bibliophiles), and Dick Morris's "Off With Their Heads!".
