Finished Isaac Asimov's "Under the Naked Sun" last night. First time reading his work and I really enjoyed it.

In preparation to my trip to Cornwall & Devon in about three weeks, I've still got to read Daphne DuMaurier's Jamaika Inn and possibly Vanishing Cornwall, but I've still got to get hold of them. And maybe I'll skim though Doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles again.

Just finished "Citizens of London" about prominent Americans who tried to convince the US to join Britain in WWII. The relationship between Roosevelt and Churchill and the conflicts between Allied commanders was very enlightening, as was the significant amount of clandestine amorous entanglements with the Americans and Churchill women.

The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom (I have read this great American Classic several times)
Frederic Bastiat: A Man Alone by George Charles Roche III

Incidentally, for those reading The Source by James Michener, this is perhaps my all time favorite Michener book, and I have read many.

Started reading Asimov back when I was in college. Somedays could not put them down. --John

Sam Cowan's "Alvin York and his Mountain People". A true Jazz Age classic dating back to 1922, and you can get a facsimile copy at Pastor Pile's store on York Highway in Pall Mall. The Fentress County, TN newspaper still prints them.

I want to read this. It sounds fascinating.

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. Set in WW2 Lithuania and Siberia.

The Second World War by Antony Beevor. A mammoth read at 880 pages, but it promises to be good.

The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film

Sooooooo great to hear how the magic is made.

Just started on Jamaica Inn. Two chapters in, it's already quite fascinating and making me want to read more.
