Perfect winter reading, 1812: The Great Retreat by Paul Britten Austin. Personal accounts of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow.

Eichmann in Jerusalem. Interesting. Certainly some things that shocked me, but not about Eichmann or the Nazis.

I've been reading a lot of history of Memphis music. Started with the Alex Chilton biography, "A Man Called Destruction" back in March, followed by "Big Star, America's Forgotten Band" by Rob Jovanovic. Then Barney Hoskins's "Ragged Glories" and Peter Guralnick's "Feel Like Going Home" - which aren't exclusively about Memphis artists but include some. "Hellfire, The Jerry Lee Lewis Story" by Nick Tosches was next. Currently reading "Sam Phillips: the Man Who Invented Rock 'n' Roll" by Peter Guralnick.

Written by David McCullough. This book gives one a whole new perspective on how this country was established.

Just finished “Catch and Kill” by Ronan Farrow which I recommend.

Now reading “Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers” by Brian Kilmeade.

I did enjoy "So Good They Can't Ignore You" though, and have recommended it to a few friends who have college-aged kids.
