Felt a bit "stilted" at the beginning but soon as I got used to the concept I really started to enjoy this.

There are a number of acronyms in this book which aren't really explained. It's kind of fun looking them up.

I got as far as Chapter 11 but couldn't go any further.

I am abandoning this book. The use of fiction in between the science was cool for a while but became pretty boring and tedious after a while.

I am enjoying this book. I especially liked the last chapter (Turkey - 6500s) learning about the people and dwellings, with square houses with dirt roofs close together so the people can travel along the tops of the houses and not on the ground.

So far a pretty good superficial life of Poe.

This author doesn't make it easy for the casual reader of history. This book seems to concentrate more on the financial and economic problems and scandals surrounding the era of Coolidge. Getting bogged down by things like Teapot Dome and the Mellon Plan.

Pg 234: "Your glory lies in what you have given and may give to your country not in what your country has or may give to you." - Calvin Coolidge.

So far a nice collection of fascinating facts about owls, with a couple of anecdotes thrown in.

This is a slog. Glad it's pretty short.
