 Superbly researched look at the parallel lives of Lee Harvey Oswald & John F. Kennedy written in real time as hidden history unfolds. |

Armageddon by Bart Ehrman. It explains why a prophetic text written as a warning to Christians living in the 1st century, the Book of Revelation, has been misunderstood by every modern millennialist from Hal Lindsey to David Koresh. Incredible.

For Christmas, my daughter and her fiance gifted me a new illustrated version of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy published by The Folio Society.
The boxed Folio edition is quite sumptuous in regards to print and paper and the illustrations by Neil Packer are superb; however, the translation by Robin Kirkpatrick leaves a lot to be desired. Too modern a rendering for my tastes. It lacks the poeticism I found in earlier translations, like Longfellow's or Binyon's, for instance. |

Just finished reading this and although it is supposedly about how McCartney coped with the breakup of the Beatles, and the formation of Wings, it tends to be more about Linda and her relationship with Paul. The author admits that she initially was going to ghost write a biography about Linda and eventually formed a close ( according to the author) relationship with Linda over the course of a number of interviews with her. Apparently Paul stymied the idea of releasing that book with the justification (according to the author) that there was "only one star in the family". So this book is perhaps overly sympathetic towards Linda and a bit less so with Paul. At any rate, the author got to write her book, and probably got a lot more interest in it by framing it as being about Paul. Edited by Hugh Manatee - February 13 2024 at 18:53 |

An excellent read that covers the development of music through the 70's. It has a very generous look at the rise of prog through to the eventual impact of punk, and how the music of the 70's influenced the way music was appreciated during that decade and beyond. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it a compelling read throughout. Highly recommended. Edited by Hugh Manatee - February 15 2024 at 18:58 |

The Dawn of Everything by Davids Graeber and Wengrow. It's a really interesting anthropological look at how human society got to where we are now. My physical copy just seems to be really poorly bound. Pages keep coming loose. I also wish the authors would have used footnotes instead of endnotes. I hate having to flip to the back of the book to read them.
