I am HALFWAY THROUGH Rosseau and Revolution by Will Durant. Gloryoski, one more volume and I’ll have triumped over Napoleon.
 
Almost done with Rosseau and Revolution. Then on to The Tragedy of Liberation, on the establishment of the communist state in China.
 
I’m going to borrow IT by Stephen King later this week for preparation for the cinematic version coming out September 9. I’ve never read a King novel before and IT was always one my radar if I were to start his catalog. Given that the book is 1200+ pages I’ll give myself an entire month to finish it off.
 
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. I heard it is quit good and so far it is.
 
The Irish Soldiers of Mexico, about the San Patricos – Irish soldiers who fought in defense of Mexico during the US invasion.
 
Martin Goodman’s Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations.

A fascinating book about the turbulent and often violent relationship between the Roman Empire and the Jewish people from about 60 A.D. up until the time of Constantine.
 
Company Town by Madeline Ashby
New Arcadia is a city-sized oil rig off the coast of the Canadian Maritimes, now owned by one very wealthy, powerful, byzantine family: Lynch Ltd.
Hwa is of the few people in her community (which constitutes the whole rig) to forgo bio-engineered enhancements. As such, she’s the last truly organic person left on the rig — making her doubly an outsider, as well as a neglected daughter and bodyguard extraordinaire.

Still, her expertise in the arts of self-defence and her record as a fighter mean that her services are yet in high demand. When the youngest Lynch needs training and protection, the family turns to Hwa. But can even she protect against increasingly intense death threats seemingly coming from another timeline?
