Got a toehold into it while in the hospital waiting room, oddly enough.

A bot keeps trying to friend me. If we all just took pitchforks, etc., to the AI data centers and destroyed them we could end this.

This is my "waiting for mom to be done with physical therapy" book. And it's dry, so not moving too fast with it. But I do want to finish. It's informationally good.

The rest are footnotes. Much contemplation. Minor preview to what I might say: this is one of the greatest books I've ever read.

900 pages; we take a breath and get ready to summit this 8,000-meter peak. A colossally sad epic tale with too many parallels that seem to never end in history.

People hiding their profiles do not get to follow me. I don't do looking through a one-way mirror. I had to block another one who thinks they can.

Getting so close to nailing this mammoth triumph. What a book!! An absolute shoe-in for my Silver Holy Grail and teetering to a very rare Golden one. Shirer, you absolute beast, I am humbled.

Really rolling along now. I'm finding this impossible to put down.

I've been making this my bed book which means I conk out after about four pages, so progress has been slow. Apropos of nothing, I noticed that saying the title sounds like I'm saying Shar-cunt, and there's no way around that.

Sept. 1, 1939. World War II begins. Reading about it never gets old. Being reminded of how it happened is always important, The evil never went away, as we well know. This is a story of people who were not prepared. Are we?

This is looking like a memorable one. Shirer really takes you into the trenches of epic history. What an incredible reporter he was.

Gonna dump most of my group memberships on here. Why am I even still in the librarians group when me and countless thousands were stripped of librarian status unjustly and with no warning? No thanks for the years of improving the site for no pay, nothing. It's rank bastardry.

Going to nibble at this one, as it's mainly mag articles and odds and ends. Just picked up the Picador paperback, Looks nice.

This is an extraordinary history, on the same level as Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. So many political portents in this book that make it super timely. Big-ass winter read; let's get to page 1,000.

The efficiency in governing and care for Americans by FDR's administration is a universe away from the sociopathic fascist death-cult in charge now. It's quite a reminder of how government can use our tax dollars to work for us instead of the elite pedophile billionaires.
