Just finished “The Harbinger.”
Ulysses by James Joyce. 43% done with it and I can’t stand it. I don’t know why I persist but it is supposed to be one of the best literature books ever written in the English language. Unless it has a great finish, I don’t understand 20th century literature.
I’ve been working my way through the Matt Helm and Parker series more or less simultaneously for awhile. About midway through Helm and between books at the moment. Currently on “Breakout” in the Parker series.
I’m reading two books currently:
The Most Evil People in History
and
Unexplained Mysteries of WW2
Now reading
Domestic Enemies the Reconquista by Matthew Braken
“Elkie Brooks, Finding My Voice - My Autobiography -” (Just because I like her:

I am on “The Black Widow” by Daniel Silva. I am waiting for my copy of “See Something, Do Nothing.” I finished “Prayers the Devil Answers” by Sharyn McCrumb, a great read.

What if V-E Day hadnt ended World War II in Europe? What if, instead, the Allies had to face a potent, even fanatical, postwar Nazi resistance? Such a movement, based in the fabled Alpine Redoubt, was in fact a real threat, ultimately neutralized by Germanys flagging resources and squabbling officials. But had SS Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, the notorious Man with the Iron Heart, not been assassinated in 1942, fate might have taken a different turn. In this imagined world, Nazi forces launch a guerrilla war, using the quick and dirty tactics of terrorism to overturn what seemed to be a decisive victory. Suddenly the Alliesespecially the United Statesare mired in a long, seemingly unwinnable conflict while battling an invisible, unrelenting enemy.
