Couldn’t wait to get my hands on this, as it’s right up my reading alley. American history, American business, the Vanderbilts, J.P. Morgan, Theodore Roosevelt, and muckraking – it’s all in there! Iron Empires: Robber Barons, Railroads, and the Making… Continue Reading →
A birthday gift from my father, (who knows what books I like), I jumped right into volume one of “The Revolution Trilogy” by a superb history author, Rick Atkinson. I was not disappointed! The British Are Coming: The War for… Continue Reading →
Whew, 2020 is finally over! Oddly enough, with all of the “extra” homebound time, I had a relatively shortened reading challenge set this year. Of course, I exceeded it, but not by much. Many good reads this year, but the… Continue Reading →

Recommended by Bill Gates, I knew this book would be a good choice. Though all of us are aware of the importance of a good night’s sleep, Why We Sleep is a real eye-opener! Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power… Continue Reading →
Ever since experiencing the epic movie as a child in the early 1960s, my interest in Lawrence of Arabia has been on ongoing. It’s interesting that Michael Korda is of the family of the film producer that originally purchased the… Continue Reading →
Any written material about the Second World War, whether fiction or not, never fails to intrigue me. In the previous 12 months alone, I’ve read 4 books about the subject, each being interesting, educational, and gripping!
