I don't post here much, but I'd like to start posting more.
Here is what I've read over the past 18 or so months:
Napoleon: A Life - Andrew Roberts
The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway
A Moveable Feast - Ernest Hemingway
Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era - James McPherson
The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea - Jack E. Davis
The Oxford History of the French Revolution - William Doyle
Washington: A Life - Ron Chernow
Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power - Jon Meacham
Grant - Ron Chernow
The Greater Journey, Americans in Paris - David McCullough
The Life of Andrew Jackson - Robert Remini
Black Flags, Blue Waters - Eric Jay Donlin
John Adams - David McCullough
The First World War - Martin Gilbert
De Gaulle - Julian Jackson
Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and how it Changed America - John M. Barry
Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps that Explain Everything About the World - Tim Marshall
A Thousand May Fall: Life, Death, and survival in the Union Army - Brian Matthew JOrdan
Our Southern Highlanders - Horace Kephart
SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome - Mary Beard
Butch Cassiday: The True Story of an American Outlaw - Charles Leerhsen
Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer - Siddhartha Mukherjee (currently reading this now)
Let me know if y'all have any questions about any of these books.
I am planning to read more fiction next year and less about war and politics. My book "watchlist" reflects this. I also plan to alternate reading fiction then non-fiction books. I also plan to read some classics I've never read (The Great Gatsby, Les Miserables, No Country For Old Men, Crime and Punishment, Death of a Salesman, On The Road, etc.)

The King and Maxwell series is pretty good.

Bloody Sunday by Ben Coes
The Dewey Andreas series has been a fun ride. Book 8 is not as good as books 1-5, as is the case with most series, but still entertaining.
Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza
It has been awhile since I've read any woo woo books.
This one is hitting me like The Power of Flow did 20 years ago. Most self help and psychology books bore me by the 3rd chapter. Reading this feels like taking that pill from Limitless.
Eta:
The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
I've been slow reading this for a few months after seeing it recommend here. Book one of a three part series, his childhood up to the presidency (I think). So far so good, interesting from a historical perspective and digging into the mindset of one of America's greats, but very slow going. Hope to finish the series in 2022.

Reading about his chronic diarrhea while he and his family were in Europe was really fascinating
