I'm reading The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan

That was a fascinating book!

I just finished Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Hollow City. Quick, fun, mindless summer reads. This morning I started A Tale of Two Cities which is part of my Read All My Favorite Books from Childhood project this year. Jeez! I don't remember it being so hard. Apparently I've gotten dumber over the years!

LOL, I'm already getting good ideas. I've been wanting to read A Tale of Two Cities for some time. I need to get into more of the classics. A Freeper asked me to read The Divine Comedy with him. I liked the idea, but reading it according to a schedule didn't work for me, if that makes sense. I ended up getting it and reading most of it myself.

The Egan book WAS interesting, and harrowing. Unfortunately he had to break out into FDR worship toward the end.
