Have You Read Any Good Books Lately?

Right now I'm reading "Flashman at the Charge"
It's one in a series, "The Flashman Chronicles" by George MacDonald Fraser.
If you don't know Flashman, you don't know history.   
Or people.

I spent most of 2020 in the side yard soaking up UV and reading... nothing too serious... I read a ton of material for my degree from UF...

light reading
Tom Clancy, Mark Greaney and those writing on his by-line after his death
Lee Child... working on most of the Jack Reacher series... Child, a Brit, knows nothing about firearms, kinda like Ian Flemming
WEB Griffin and son after his death..

historical fiction
Herman Wouk....Winds of War, and War and Remembrance
James Clavell... Shogun.. TaiPan, King Rat,

for the Civil War buffs... the 3 volume set by Shelby Foote

I lost interest in Child when he talked about how the M 92 was more powerful than other pistols.

I’m reading Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. The story is described so realistically that it seems to you that you are also now in Australia and watching the events. Every story of the main characters touches the soul and you are sincerely worried about them.  It is an engaging story filled with murder and mystery. The idea is very interesting. On the first page you will find out that the murder happened. But throughout the story, you have no idea who is the victim. At the same time, the genre cannot be called a detective story. A fascinating book about relationships.

Be nice, maybe he'll teach us Chinese cuss words.   
Actually we need him to clue us to what actually IS offensive in Chinese.
For all we know "Bullshit" may translate as "Meat byproducts".   
Not offensive at all unless you're talking about hot dogs.   

And it's actually, sort of, on topic !

When I get my printer going again I should make stencils. 
We may not be able to pronounce it,
but we can spray paint it well enough .

Started Bomber Mafia by Malcolm Gladwell.    Don't be fooled, while he does cover the history of bomber strategy, he's also working in the topic of Confirmation Bias and how people go about accepting or rejecting change.
