Last book I read was Between Two Fires, by Christopher Beuhlan. A blend of historical drama, horror, and fantasy. A 14th century French knight-turned-vagabond escorts a strange orphaned girl to Avignon to see the Pope, during an outbreak of the Black Death. Evil stands in their way. It wasn't bad. Heavy on the horror/fantasy elements.

Even if I had time, I would not read.

Feel like I could always be getting something done. It would eat at me. Sitting idle.


I’ll go pull honeysuckle vines out of my cyclone fence with needle nosed pliers first.

I just found a copy of Karamojo Safari by W.D.M. Bell. I am not into it very far but it reminds me of "Maneaters" by Jim Corbett which I finished just a few weeks ago.

The Wright Brothers by David Mccullough. Not sure it's as good as some of Mcculloughs other works, say John Adams, but interesting nonetheless. The Wright Brothers were some focused and driven guys.

Its a tough read. Not because of the writing, or the length, but because of where the stories Solzhenitsyn tells take your mind.

Should be required reading, especially for people who vote democrat.
Got thru most of it many many years ago.

And, I agree about the required reading............................but that's probably not allowed in schools any more.

Have you watched the series on AMC "Dark Wind" based on Hillerman novels?

Shattered Sword, on the recommendation of the Campfire. Slower read than Ian Toll so far.

Got 3 others in line.

I just picked up Karamojo on my Kindle for 1.99. I have never read any Bell before, looking forward to this.

I read it during the lockdown. Not sure I could have gotten through it under any other circumstances; I am certain I could not have done it while in school. Perhaps a condensed version, or something like the comic-book-like "Classics Illustrated". (Those things got me through more than a few book reports!)


The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

Latest issue of Claremont Review of books has an excellent article from Christopher Caldwell entitled Why are we in Ukraine?

I know a few folks here who’d call a guy named for even asking the question…

Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.
