Have not. But will add it.  I agree.  I like a lot about the style of writing of that era. Not just NYC. I love a lot of the LA Noir from that time frame too.

Recommended by a friend. Good if you’re doing the middle aged get your shit right for a run into old age thing, although I feel like you could find a podcast Ted talk or something and get a cliffs notes of his argument and be fine

enjoyed muchly. Serves as an intro to stoicism as well as some personal history on Marcus Aurelius. I’ve realized how much of what I’ve connected with in recovery is simply stoicism, and am highly interested in any other recommended books on the subject. Or commentary on if the source material will be too dense to get use out of as an audiobook as I hike around.

Reading this for my first class of the fall semester. Larson put together quite a narrative with this one of that first year for Churchill as prime minister. So much was going on around him with his family as well as his advisers and ministers. Can’t believe this was happening 85 years ago.IMG_4216.thumb.webp.181e28b309bb76e45ca50e1218dcdff9.webp

“Midnight in Peking” was pretty interesting. True crime story as Japan is taking over Northern China in 1937.

Now reading:

This is some scary shit. I think Iris Chang ended up committing suicide as well.

^ Four chapters in and it’s very disturbing.

One of the most hideous and appalling things that happened during the entirety of the 14 years of the Pacific War. The things human beings are capable of in a situation such as that are just breathtakingly horrific.
