Did Fran & Ollie help Kukla write the book?
Sorry I couldn’t resist.
Lyonesse - Jack Vance
Biography of Martin Luther by Metaxas.

And it is taking awhile, but I am currently reading another provocative book by the historian Walter Scheidel, called Escape from Rome: The Failure of Empire and the Road to Prosperity.
Currently reading “The Ministry for the Future” by Kim Stanley Robinson. Listening to “St Peter’s Fair” by Ellis Peters.
Fiction: Devolution - a perfectly silly premise turns into one of the best horror novels I've ever read. From the author of World War Z.
Unique perspective
There's two books that I may order as they have been recommended. The first is "Stalin: Passage to Revolution" by Ronald Grigor Suny, and "Hitler's Death: The Case Against Conspiracy" by Luke Daly-Groves.
“The Story of the Malakand Field Force” by Winston Churchill. About an islamic insurrection in the ‘Old’ Indian.
The Genera of Hyphomyctes from Soil, George Barron
https://www.amazon.com/genera-Hyphomycetes-soil-George-Barron/dp/B0006WAVOW
Bill O’ Reilly’s “Killing The SS’’. Nazi bastards got off easy, most of them anyway. Prior to that I tried reading Hitler’s “Mein Kampf’’. Good God what a turgid, incoherent, incomprehensible pile of crap that was.
After a few chapters I had to put it down. In all the words I’d read the only two Hitler got right was his name.
Prospero’s Cell by Lawrence Durrell
Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith.
I often read books in parallel. I'll read a chapter from one and move on to the next book. I will do this with several books at a time. After I read a chapter with the current book, I put it on the bottom of the stack (that I'm reading) and start again on the next one. I seem to finish books faster that way.
When I finish a book, I just add another to the active stack.
It makes sense when you think about it. Most people who watch television have no problem keeping up with storylines on the various shows that they watch.
Anyway, my current stack consists of "The Lions Of Lucerne" by Brad Thor, "Pelican Brief" by John Grisham (second time reading this), "Murder One" by William Bernhardt, "Storm Of Swords" by George RR Martin, and "No Exit" by Taylor Adams.
