Holidays are over! Happy New Year!
I didn’t get much to read over the holidays, but I finished The Black Company by Glen Cook. The story was interesting but the way it is written made it hard for me to read. Still, going to continue with the trilogy and see if second book is any better in that regard.
Currently reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. Loving the book. The series just keeps getting better and better.
What about you? What have you been reading or listening?
Any recommendations? 😀
One I recently enjoyed is 1177 BC: The Year Civilisation Collapsed by Eric H Cline. Totally different subject, but all his examples clarify rather that obscure the point.
Another on a similar topic is John Perlin’s A Forest Journey: The Role of Wood in the Development of Civilization which I found to be very dismissive in a couple of areas such as coppice woodland, but still very clear.
And another - a classic - is Oliver Rackham’s The History of the Countryside which looks at the UK countryside and is both clear and thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks for the list, I’ll add them to my list and look them up next time at the bookstore!
