I just finished, Fatima in Lucia's Own Words. It's the memoirs of Lucia Dos Santos.
Now that that ones done, I'm returning to, City of God, by Saint Augustine. I'd put it down when Fatima, which I'd ordered from the library came in.
Next up:
Only What We Could Carry: The japenese American Internment Experience.
It's a collection of letters, stories, poems, editorials and graphic art from that time period.
The following quotes are old, but since I just read this thread, they're new to me.
I haven't read "Fountainhead," but I have read "Atlas Shrugged." Great book! You're obviously a reader to have not been scarred away from a 1200+ page book.
I'm impressed. Most don't even know who Keynes is, let alone what's taught in schools.![]()

Currently re-reading The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andric because I'm taking a trip to its location this fall. It's a narrative history (some places classify it as fiction, but it was originally written and successfully defended as a dissertation) of a bridge in Bosnia stretching from the Ottoman empire to the modern day. One of my favorite books because it reads so fluidly, gives details of so many different people's lives and really encapsulates the character of a region.
I recommend it but with the caveat that you need a strong stomach. It has seriously graphic violence in places (historically accurate for the region's tumultuous history). I'm not squeamish at all it's one of the only books I've had to put down for a few minutes just to clear an image from my head. That being said, I took a class on the former Yugoslavia and I learned more from reading this book than the entire semester's worth of lectures - it's dense, fast and superb.

"Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. Interesting non fiction exposing how certain factors attribute to fame, fortune, talent musically and sports-wise, even how behavior is passed down throughout generations. Very interesting.![]()
