Books-What are you reading?

Blood and Thunder : The story of Kit carson and the final indian wars in the west.

God damn nonfiction reads like this make me think 95% of us wouldn't make it in the gritty murderous world that was here just a few generations ago.

I'll be the first to admit that in the coming apocalypse, I'm a dead man.

yup, i usually swap 4 books at a time sometimes you find a gem,

but even if you don't just quit reading the book

cuz it costs you zero to go back and exchange for another book or 4

Is that one book or two?

I don't know why I have not read this before now, but George Orwell's first book, Down and Out In Paris and London tells an interesting story that is well worth the time. It is an autobiographical account of Orwell's time spent living in poverty and homeless probably in the early '30s. It is an easy read and I enjoyed it enough to recommend here.

Has anyone here read White Trash by Nancy Isenberg?
Written in Written (or published) during the 2016 POTUS campaign, The NY TIMES states, "Formidable and truth -dealing...An eloquent volume that is more discomforting and more necessary than a semitrailer filled with new biographies of the founding fathers and the most beloved presidents."

Very good book--it explains that the US has had a white underclass since Jamestown and how that fact explains a lot about the US today. It is fairly dry and academic reading.

I recently read The Color of Law, about the history of redlining, segregation, and the barriers to home ownership by Black people imposed by Federal, state, and local laws--in places outside the South, like California. Current reading is Nature's Mutiny, which is about the Little Ice Age, and blames it for the switch from European economies based on subsistence tenant farming to economies based on agriculture for profit, capitalism, and the Industrial Revolution. That may be true, but halfway through the book the author hasn't made the case. I need to read more fun stuff.

Just started American Prometheus. Robert Oppenheimers life story.

2 years ago I bought a kindle. Using the overdrive app I can check our books from the library online. Total game changer. Not only do I have online access to a huge amount of books. Kindle allows me to read in bed without a light that disturbs my lady. I can read until I fall asleep (like literally fall asleep with kindle in my hand) and the device keeps the page where I fell asleep. Also has ability to cross reference/look up via online search engine events, people, definitions. Also with my Amazon prime subscription I can read the Economist. Highly recommend purchasing one to anyone who likes to read.
