"The Ship Beneath the Ice" by Mensun Bound. I read "Endurance" so it was fitting to read the story of finding the ship.

You get to the part about how they treated kids and the results? And how US aide created a Black Market.

[The Hobbit]

This is one of the slow reads I’ve been working on. Currently somewhere between half and 2/3s finished. It certainly opens one’s eyes to the reality of Soviet society.

Dracula. If you enjoy horror and you've never read the classics I highly recommend

"Astoria" by Peter Stark

Just finished Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind not too long ago. A weird and dark book, but none the less, very interesting and captivating. "Scentless Apprentice" by Nirvana apparently is based off of this book. I definitely would recommend the read. Im planning to start The Castle by Franz Kafka this week.

Wisdom and Destiny by Maurice Maeterlinck (1898). Public domain files for the book can be found here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4349 . I lost my physical copy long ago.

Without knowing what your interests are, I can recommend some of the older titles I really enjoyed. "The Sea Wolf" by Jack London, "The Ballad of the White Horse" by G.K. Chesterton ( absolutely outstanding poem), "The House of the Wolfings" - William Morris.

Almost finished with "The Forty Days of Musa Dagh" By Franz Werfel. Its historical fiction focusing on an really interesting event which occurred during the Armenian Genocide in which the Armenian villages took up arms and fought rather than face certain death through deportation. Thus far, its been excellent.

Just finished Bill Brysons: The Body: A Guide for Occupants

Great book and his stuff is top notch. Great way to further your education and also be entertained. His "A short history of nearly everything" is also a must read and should be read by everyone to fill in the gaps of what you didn't learn in school.

Right now I'm reading Joshua Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World about his voyage in 1900. I absolutely love old books and would enjoy and recommendations folks might have.

Currently on a roll with reading books involving the Pacific Ocean.

Finished;
”The Wide Wide Sea” by Hampton Sides, this is about Captain Cooks last voyage. I recommend it, excellent read.
”In the Heart of the Sea” by Nathaniel Philbrick, this is the real life inspiration to Moby Dick. Another recommendation and excellent read.
