Just finished up Bitter Harvest: The Great Betrayal. Very interesting insights.
Now working on Age of Entitlement. Fascinating so far.
I have the first one, very fun.
I wish That Hideous Strength weren't non-fiction :laugh:
Still a few seasons behind but enjoying it immensely
Just finished Mine Were of Trouble and beginning No Colours or Crest. Fascinating stuff - I've never been much of a WW2 guy but I didn't know...
Getting into Albion's Seed. It's...very dense. But well written and enlightening.
I finally got started on Mine Were of Trouble. Enjoying it so far.

I just started Historical Dynamic, which is an interesting theory on how societies develop and collapse. Related to Secular Cycles and Millennial Trends. I'm not sure how trusted Turchin is in...
Good stuff.
I found a copy of Wheels of Heaven, which is a pulp scifi written by a professor at NSU many years ago. No mention of Tech so far but some of the evil empire. Despite that, it's intriguing so far. My...
I knew OSC was a Mormon, but it wasn't apparent in his writing until Xenocide. Still great books. Fun fact: one of my professors learned to sing tenor from OSC since they had attended the same temple.
