Andrew Gross wrote the same story with the same title

[Red Badger]

I thought it was fun. It tied together several of Asimov’s early spacer and robot novels and brought them all to a conclusion.............of sorts..................

[jeannineinsd]

I just finished Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carryrou.

[Rebelbase]

Voyage Long and Strange: On the Trail of Vikings, Conquistadors, Lost Colonists, and Other Adventurers in Early America - Tony Horwitz

The Swamp: The Everglades, Florida, and the Politics of Paradise - Michael Grunwald

A Land Remembered - Patrick D. Smith. Just finished it for the third time. One of the best stories I’ve ever read.
It’s Lonesome Dove set in Cracker Florida with a generational theme similar to a James Mitchner novel. Would make a great movie.

[HotHunt]

"Agincourt" by Bernard Cornwell. Second reading.

Story of one of the most famous battles ever fought, about the victory of a small, despised, sick and hungry English army over an enemy that massively outnumbered it by six to one, the French in 1415 in northern France.

It is a tale of an archer fighting for the English and how this army of archers were able to defeat far superior French troops.

Excellent read.

The Stone Sky, third book in the Broken Earth series. Good stuff.

Will try this one. Thanks.

Last great one I read was Brideshead Revisited, by Evelyn Waugh.

[onona]

I’m in the middle of the Stieg Larsson trilogy, which starts with “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”

[JeanLM]

“Absent Superpower” by Peter Zeihan. His follow up to “Accidental Superpower”. Geography as the major determining factor in geopolitical world development.

The US will let the world go fend for itself as we enjoy energy independence. May be happening with Trump at the helm.

Chosin Reservoir documentary. I cannot imagine what those men went through.

RE-reading Unintended Consequences by John Ross.

Learned how to get it on my Kindle as a MOBI file!

[Karliner]

Never made it all the way through Churchill’s voluminous WW-II. I’ll have to get it and restart from the beginning. Just finished The River War by him a few months ago. He has an uncanny way to write history.
