I don’t have time for books. I’m still getting caught up on MAD Magazine.

Just finished reading “Christians in the American Revolution”, by Mark A. Noll — the smartest man I ever knew.

It wasn’t exactly what I expected, but I learned a lot.

Nearing the last of the excellent Matthew Shardlake historical novels by C.J. Sansom, sadly to learn of the authors passing in April. They’re crime novels set during the reign of Henry VIII and bring many of the places and people of that time to life. Hopefully another author will continue to write similar books, as Kyle Mills did for the Mitch Rapp series after Vince Flynns death (and now, Don Bentley will continue).

I'm slowly working my way through fiction (mostly) by many different authors, and am currently reading "Chasing Darkness", by Robert Crais.

Schubert: A Musical Wayfarer, by Lorraine Byrne Bodley.

Just downloaded a bunch of Zane Gray and Louis L’Amour books from the public library for my Kindle e-book. Light easy reading that should keep me occupied in my downtimes for a while. Except for reference books for preparing my Bible studies, I’m loathe to buy physical books anymore. I don’t have the space.

I willingly and freely admit that I love rereading the books that were so good the first time, that being:

Gangland by Howard Blum (the Gotti takedown)
Gombatta by Cummings/Volkman
Catherine the Queen by Mary M. Luke (Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's first wife)
Little Gloria, Happy at Last by Barbara Goldsmith (Gloria Vanderbilt family history/custody trial) - fascinating read.

Reading a compendium of short stories from the so-called Golden Age of Sci-fi.
