interesting story of the life of the FBI chief who was unceremoniously fired. Still trying to figure out why he wrote this book. So far it is interesting.

Anno Nomius is on page 21 of 213 of The Nickel Boys
interesting back story for the book. First you had the pedophilia scandals and subsequent cover-ups within the Catholic Church brought out by Spotlight. And now a fictionalized version of the Dozier School for Boys, dubbed Nickel Academy. a juvenile reformatory operated by the state of Florida where you have similar to worse abuse.

why do i feel i am reading a John Steinbeck book as i read this book...is it because Ernest Hemingway writes a lot like Steinbeck or is the other way around or just the time this was written in.

Anno Nomius is on page 123 of 256 of That's Not in My American History Book
interesting book with interesting facts which is contrary to what you were taught at school. So far the most interesting fact was how the first person to fly a plane was not the Wright brothers but a resident of Connecticut.

excellent book. a story about the Irish uprising in northern Ireland and the life of the young revolutionary leaders willing to risk everything for a united Ireland. As the story is told you realize that the Irish have suffered a lot at the hands of the British. ..

The author does a good job of marrying the past and the present in two separate narrative. The narrative of the grandmother who fled cuba under Fidel and the narrative of the granddaughter who comes to cuba after Fidel dies. Very well written. ….

a book about travelling librarians on horses in Kentucky ...appears the concept was taken from another book by Kim Michele Richardson - the book woman of troublesome creek. Well I have put that down to my read me list as well and will see if I can figure out who stole from whom :-).

Anno Nomius is on page 160 of 303 of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
I usually am not a big fan of autobiographies however this one is different. Extremely interesting, fast paced and takes you around the world from Panama to Iran to Indonesia and on the way you learn about US interest in that part of the world. Unfortunately the truth is not necessarily what you expected...

Anno Nomius is on page 80 of 575 of Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program that Brought Nazi Scientists to America
Picked up another of Annie Jacobsen's book. What do we have here...recruitment of Nazis by the US government to learn their secrets...how many Americans know that ? Loving this book already however I have a long way to go. It's been a bit of a yo-yo reading for me. I read something, cant believe this actually happened ...go back and re-read.
