I read four or five books at a time. I have one in each room of the house. The Kindle is for the bedroom and reading in bed. That one was “Ship of Fools by Tucker Carlson.
That is very good but got me depressed a bit. The best review on Amazon was:
Don’t drink wine and read this book, you’ll get angry and make posts on social media that are completely accurate and your friends will hate you.
I feel pretty much like that.
I’ve been reading “Militant Normals,” by Kurt Schlicter. It is less depressing and quite good.
Then there is the audio in the car which is now, “Revolt of the Elites, ” by Christopher Lasch. It was written in 2016 and published in 2017 so has nothing so far about Trump.
Today, I finished “Citizen Soldiers,” by Stephen Ambrose which describes the war from Normandy to the end. It’s not just a narrative of the war but has chapters on POWs and about crooks and deserters. There was a lot of “Combat Fatigue” which got Patton into trouble. It was best treated close to the front and 90% of the soldiers returned to their units or at least went back to some job.
I am also reading a couple of books on the back patio, one of which is “The Sleepwalkers” which is about the advent of World War I, and it will be 100 years since the Armistice in two weeks.
The other books is, “Vatican,” by Malachi Martin, which I read years ago but am rereading it. I am stimulated to read it by the antics of Pope Francis who seems to be the leftist Pope Martin warned about.
