Great book.

I'm about halfway through The Goldfinch. It's been really good.

I've gotten the itch to read The Great Gatsby again, so I'll probably start it up pretty soon.

I've already read Dead Wake and Isaac's Storm by Larson. Both were first-rate reads. This one, so far, looks to be the same.

I just finished Guns, Germs and Steel. I thought it was very readable and would recommend it to anyone interested in big history or economic development.

Devil In the White City was my favorite Larson book. Check it out as well.

Finished Two Kinds of Truth this weekend. Just started The Lions of Lucerne by Brad Thor. Figured I’d see how Harvard got started.

Just started Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.

I have been wanting to read Guns, Germs, and Steel for a long time, but never pulled the trigger on it. I think I will after I finish the book I just started.

The Historian by Elizabeth Korkova or Kostova or something. Good so far.
