I took a brief detour from Napoleon. For more French Revolution context I am reading A New World Begins: The History of the French Revolution by Jeremy D. Popkin. Ordinary people play a major role in this book, and women are also mentioned. I highly recommend it.

Currently reading The French Revolution: A Very Short Introduction by William Doyle. Napoleon is next. I thought this might be a good one before that.

He's a great writer. I want to read the one on Chernobyl.

Currently reading The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine, by Serhii Plokhy. Excellent coverage of early history of this area. Looking forward to the rest of this book.

I am currently reading Catherine the Great by Robert K Massie. Really enjoying it. Massie is a great storyteller.

Reading is what I do with my time. That has pluses and minuses, obviously. Don't step up your game, just enjoy what you do read, and also enjoy the other things in your lives.

Definitely. Bookshelves were the first thing we bought when we started getting furniture decades ago.

Hmmmm. I need to think of a list for me. Anti-Intellectualism is on my TBR list.
