Haven’t been doing much reading myself lately. When I had my knee surgery a couple of years ago I got into the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O’Brian. I think that was on Johnboy’s suggestion. Went through all 20 of the books.

I think one of the last books that I read was The Accidental President. It covers the first four months of Harry Truman’s time as President. It was really interesting to see the context of all the monumental events that were thrown at him in that short period, the end of the war in Europe, then dealing with the incredible amount of homeless and starving in Europe, the continuing was in the Pacific and the decision to use the atomic bombs, and the already deteriorating relationship with the Soviets.
