Fall of Giants by Ken Follett
amazon link
Its part of the Century Trilogy series.
It is a beautiful and synchronized dance of well developed and interesting characters across many years and countries built around historically accurate events (WW1, WW2, the Berlin Wall, civil rights, etc). I learned so much.
It starts right before WW1 and the last book ends in the 1980's.
The first book introduces the main characters, and then the second and third book continue on with their children and grandchildren.
I LOVE this series! and I am hard to please.

These books get more and more realistic every year.

Just about no part of those books were realistic.

The Day After Never - Legion by Russell Blake
Posted on 7/13/21 at 12:26 pm to Dubosed
Over the past couple of weeks I've read:
The Art of Racing in the Rain
Crucial Conversations
The Millionaire Next Door
Before She Knew Him
No particular reason. I went through all the books in my house and realized that I had only read about half of them. So I have a backlog of 10-15 books that I'm knocking out whenever I get bored.
I just picked up The Big Short. I've seen the movie, but I imagine that I'll get much more useful information from the book.
So I'm currently reading:
The Big Short
Three and Out: Rich Rod and The Michigan Wolverines

A Gallant Little Army - Timothy Johnson
About the Mexico City Campaign in the Mexican-American war. I like his writing style, it’s a page turner.
And if you’re a civil war nerd, it’s interesting reading about all of these green future famous soldiers and generals working together and marching to Mexico City.

The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come by John Fox, Jr.
This was my late father's favorite book when he was a child. I also read it as a child and now, many years later, purchased a 1912 edition on eBay and am reading it again.

The first 100 pages were a bit of a chore. The second 100 pages are better.
ETA: I just finished it. Maybe it was the translation but I thought it was just ok and it could have been trimmed about 150 pages imho.
