My goal is 2 books a month. Would like to read more, but with work and kids, 2 a month is a goal I can reach.
About 25% through Cibola Burn (The Expanse #4) James SA Corey

I see you have a lot of Roosevelt literature. If you haven't read The River of Doubt, I highly recommend it.
That book made me realize just how messed up the Roosevelt family was. For everything that Theodore was, it put an immense amount of pressure on the rest of the family, and really screwed up Kermit it seems. He tried to live up to his father's reputation, and ended up destroying himself because of it.

Just my opinion, but I suggest making Catch-22 the next book you read from your list. It's in my all-time top ten.
