WHAT have you finished recently? Knife Creek, Paul Doiron. Game warden mystery set in Maine.
WHAT are you reading now? Day of Battle, a history of the Allied invasion of Sicily and Italy. Presently “knee deep” into the Italy campaign, hurr hurr. (Well, almost. Rome isn’t taken.) I’m also browsing through the “memoirs” of a British bobby with a rude title,, but it’s just a collection of anecdotes so I don’t know that I’ll commit. I’m also looking through “an adaptation” of Red Dead Redemption 2, but it’s a loose translation.
WHAT are you reading next? Against the Machine: The Unmaking of Humanity, Paul Kingsnorth. To be honest, I’m actually reading it now because of the author-topic combo.
Reading Freely 
Another tempting Kingsnorth!
Last #book I finished: Blue Pastures, by #MaryOliver
Amreading: Orwell’s Roses by #RebeccaSolnit – have you read it? I think you would enjoy this
Amlistening to: The House Without a Key (Charlie Chan #1) by #EarlDerrBiggers
TBR Reading next: Greek Lessons, by #HanKang
Ohh, that Orwell book sounds all kinds of fascinating!
And yes, the Kingsnorth is quite compelling so far.
Orwell seems to be ‘the thing’ ATM.. I wonder why? Just finished a book about him yesterday….
Which book?
He certainly spoke up against totalitarianism.
Spooky yesterday: I finished the essay about Stalin attacking/killing real scientists and replacing them with quacks. Same day when a certain president went on a rampage against Tylenol…
It was ‘Churchill & Orwell – The Fight for Freedom’ by Thomas E Ricks. I *really* liked it.
At least Trump hasn’t got as far as *killing* scientists… yet. But he does have another 3 years left (if he LEAVES this time of course….).
