Currently reading Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson. Love Isaacson's biographies and da Vinci is one of history's most fascinating figures. I highly recommend it.

About 1/3 of the way through Enemy of the State by Kyle Mills. I have to admit, he’s done a great job keeping up Mitch Rapp.

Just finished:
Soon I Will Be Invincible it was enjoyable but wasn't as humorous as I had hoped.
Churchill and Orwell : The Fight for Freedom by Thomas Ricks. Really enjoyed this. I wasn't aware that after the Great Depression and WWI many in the West thought democracy had failed and were leaning towards other forms of government; thus the socialist vs. communist backdrop in Europe before the Spanish Civil War. Some great insight into what caused Orwell to grow anti-communist and much respect for Churchill, who had to govern over the fall of his beloved English empire.
Artemis by Andy Weir. An honorable follow-up to the Martian with many of its strengths but also some weaknesses not present in the Martian.
About to start the Natchez Burning trilogy by Greg Iles. Being from that area I assume I'll enjoy it. Any cons before I start?

Not really any cons. I enjoyed them and didn't find them that far fetched. Being from the area, you probably feel like you experienced a lot of the situations and characters in the story.

Joe Haldeman - The Forever War
Second time reading it. Didn’t want to start another huge novel series during the holidays.

Continuing my Christmas book list with "Six Geese A-Slaying" by Donna Andrews
Posted on 11/30/17 at 11:01 am to Dubosed
Robert Caro is familiar to some due to his immense biography of Lyndon Johnson (30 years of work and not finished). His masterpiece though is The Power Broker which I have finally gotten around to reading. It won the Pulitzer Prize and other awards in 1975 and is the story of Robert Moses, urban planning, political machinations, bureaucratic infighting, and the 20th century history and reshaping of New York City. It is quite a tome, but worth the effort if you like politics and live in any big American city.

Love all his books. Kyle Mills has done a great job keeping Mitch Rapp going.
Act of Treason is my favorite Flynn book.
