I'm about to join Lieutenant Lukas in strangling Svejk. This book really needs a good editor.

War at its stupidest.

Claudia is 25% done with On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

I reread when I become hopeless. The chapter on paramilitaries made me groan out loud.

Claudia is 35% done with The Iliad

No, I've never read this. Yes, I know how it ends. Yes, the poetry is as rich...and convoluted as I expected. LOVE the Homeric similes

Well, this is a love letter to Individual#1 with snotty barbs at everyone else at the WH. Sims must be angling for another job with the organization.

Finding this right after reading DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS was an interesting coincidence

Claudia is 10% done with The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion

When social media starts getting loud, this book is my sanctuary...reminding me we all are working through our own way of seeing the world. We can find common ground if we really listen.
