What are you reading?

Just finished Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet series, one more to go.

Now starting new one, "Linesman'' by S. K. Dunstall. Sci fi.

Genocide and Settler Society: Frontier Violence and Stolen Indigenous Children in Australian History.

Dirk Moses

A difficult subject and one which has never really been satisfactorily addressed to my knowledge

This will be my next book to read:

'The Breaking Wave' by Nevil Shute

“...Like some infernal monster, still venomous in death, a war can go on killing people for a long time after it’s all over.”

Another sci fi series, Linesman, S K Dunstall, finished that and now Alliance, book 2 of the series.

An audiobook-only 'read', Empire by Christopher Lee.

It's strange to listen to after Brexit, like hearing the history of a country that no longer exists (or at least won't for much longer when Scotland votes to leave). I had felt so proud of my country until a few days ago, in spite of my unease about the negativity and the casual racism growing up towards Muslims and other ethnic groups and the cynical manipulations by the political parties and their activists (with maybe the exception of the Lib Dems). I've never felt less British and I am likely to plan to leave permanently when I have paid all my debts and dues and got my degree.

Wie Adolf Hitler zum Nazi wurde: Vom unpolitischen Soldaten zum Autor von „Mein Kampf“ von Thomas Weber und Karl Heinz Siber

A highly praised work on the political development of Hitler between 1918 and 1926. As of yet I learned a few things about the post war time in München.

Dannach empf. ich dir Primo Levi. Ursprungssprache Italianisch, sicher auf Deutsch erhaeltlich. Ich kenne nur die Engl. Ausgaben. Etwa: "The Drowned and the Saved," oder "If This Is A Man."

Just for your info: he survived Auschwitz, but he couldn't live with what he had lived through -- committed suicide.
