What are you reading?

I’ve gone through a few books – Audible + Long Commute

The House of Wolves – James Patterson & Mike Lupica: Not the greatest it screams make me into a Netflix mini series.   It’s about Jenny Wolf who inherits from her father the NFL team the Wolves and the Newspaper in San Francisco.   You can tell the sections James Patterson wrote easily.   Despite the writing not the best, I did find myself want to know what happened, was caught up in the family drama.   This is a throwaway type of book.

In between big series (which I will post about once finish the full thing) I like to read autobiographies or smaller books to get a good pallet cleanser.

If You Ask Me (But You Won’t) – Betty White.  LOVED THIS.  I have her first autobiography that I still need to read.  Just enjoyed this so much, made me laugh and smile.   Highly recommend.

Thought this would be fun.   

This won’t be us picking a book and we read and discuss.

More of – Hey what is everyone reading.

Drop a comment on a book you’ve just finished and let us know what you think.

My latest book (via audible) was Demons of Unrest by Erik Larson.   This is the lead up to the attack on Fort Sumter which lead to the American Civil War.   If you’re fascinated with history and want to learn more about the lead up to the war this is a very good book, which interesting details and nuances of those six months.   It can drag slightly, but it still kept me wanting more.   The detailing of events that transpired is fascinating, and meet many known ‘characters’ and introduced to others.  I would recommend, even for the casual historian.
