Read all of them and then his Saxon series. The Arthur books are very very good and a bit dark.

Cosmos by Carl Sagan
Reread 1776 by David McCullough

David McCullough is one of the best writers of the last 50 years. The Wright Brothers was amazing. The Great Bridge was very good. John Adams was his best work in my opinion.

I started reading 1776 forever ago when the OT started a book club (or lasted all of 2-3 books), but couldn't get into it.

Reading Dead Wake by Erik Larsen. This is my first by him. Pretty good so far. Reminds me of Unbroken and other good non-fiction works that weave stories into all of the facts.

Being the total 80's geek that I am, I read Ready Player One and enjoyed it. It's a fun read. Steven Speilberg is going to direct the movie version of it, which should be interesting.

In the Garden of Beasts is fantastic. To see how the world turned a blind eye to Hitler's rise is embarrassing.

The Prey series by John Sandford. Some are better than others but overall very entertaining.

Reading seems like an antiquated and obsolete form of entertainment.
