Yeah, I know the year is not over yet.
2020
1 The Economic Consequences of the Peace (Keynes) A better read than I expected.
2 My Opposition Untrustworthy
3 The Ship (Forester) Interesting as a snapshot of the writer
4 Countdown 1945 Helps me understand the timeline
5 The Rise of the GI Army Very helpful
6 Napoleon & His Court (Forester) Again, an interesting look at the author
7 The Woman’s Hour Very interesting
8 Too Much & Never Enough (Trump) A very strange & unhappy family. Not well-written.

10 The Splendid and the Vile “Popular history.” I got little from it.
11 The General (Forester) A good & important work, unlike the other two.
12 The Impending Crisis of the South & How to Meet It Like most books of this era, a tough read.
In fact, tougher than most.

14 Trump’s Brain Most every prediction was wrong.
15 Every Drop of Blood Excellent
16 Last Call Forgettable
17 An Impeccable Spy Best book of the year
18 The Downfall of Money Important
19 Maddow Intrusive & unsettling
