Gettysburg by Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen. An interesting take of a possible alternative history of a great battle

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Pretty intricate and intriguing book I'd impose many to read if they haven't already.

I am currently reading Salvage.
This is web original fiction and not a physical book, but I thought I should post this anyway since it is like cocaine, both figuratively and literary(see what I did there :lol: ).
The story is a part of this fictional universe on reddit:The Jenkinsverse

Quote:
"The thing about evolving on a death world is that you don't really realise you're doing so until you get the chance to leave it. Up to that point the presence of carnivorous monsters, venomous micropredators, extreme climatic conditions, geological instability, the most lethal cocktail of microbial and viral life forms in the galaxy and of course the crushing gravity, seemed entirely natural. Until we left Earth we thought ourselves rather weak, frail, defenceless creatures because we only had earth fauna to compare ourselves to. You can imagine our surprise then, upon joining the galactic community to find ourselves in fact to be enormous, robust and insanely dangerous in our own right."- Anonymous.

The Story of Civilization: Ancient Greece, by Will Durant.

I'm actually listening to the audio book. I find it great to fall asleep to at night; it keeps my mind from wandering off into Anxiety Land. :D

"War in a Time of Peace" by David Halberstam. It is a history book focusing on the Clinton administration, NATO, and the Yugoslavia wars of the 1990's. Very interesting but also slow going.

The Pleasures Of The Damned.

Book of poetry by Charles Bukowski. Anyone familiar with Bukowski's fiction and poetry Knowes to expect what he writes to be funny, sad, and angry - often all at once.

I really enjoyed 'Post Office' - he has a great style.

I am reading 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' by Baroness Orczy - very enjoyable so far
