What Book Are You Reading at the Moment?

[GloryofGreece]

I found a really cool book on Tacitus by Ronald Mellor. It was used and cost me a dollar to buy. Ive read the Annals of Imperial Rome (the title is that or similar) and it is probably my favorite book by an ancient author. Better than Thucydides even.

That's a bold statement dude.

I wish Jordan Peterson would interview the real expert on Stalin, Stephen Kotkin, author of recently released, https://www.audible.com/pd/Bios-Memoirs ... B07884ZKKV

By the time I've finished this part I'll have listened to 100 hours of Stalin rise and reign. That's nuts really.

Thanks for the link! There are some great books on Stalin, especially now that more archives have been opened. Check out Stalin and His Hangmen by Donald Rayfield and Stalin: Court of the Red Tsar by Simon Sebag Montefiore. Great books, the latter talks about Stalin's bizarre personal life and the monsters he kept around him. If you are fascinated by Stalin, these are must reads!

If one more person reads this book as a result of DB's efforts here, then the entire forum is a success.
