My lovely Liberal has excellent taste in reading subjectsOriginally Posted by TopHatsLiberal
I'm currently re-reading several books, since I have not bought or checked out from the library anything new.
I think my next re-read will be The Arms of Krupp by William Manchester.
He biographies are so packed with minutae that I always pick up a few nuggets of new information the next time I read it.
I'm finishing up Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. After that I'm reading The Capitalist Manifesto by Andrew Bernstein. Then after that I'm reading Theogony by Hesoid. There is so much I want to read, yet so little time
I've always been interested in the philosophy of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, especially his work on Stoicism.

Henry VIII by Alison Weir.
Recently finished Nixon by Stephan Ambrose.

Although Kaplan is too much an empiro-phile for my tastes, it's a good fast read.
