A Year Without History

I read a lot of history, almost to the exclusion of any other type of book. We’ll that changes today. The challenge is to not read a non-fiction history book for one year. I started at the beginning of April when I picked up Foucault’s Pendulum by Eco. Next up is the 2015 collection if Best American Travel Writing.

I’ll take suggestions to build my list.

The No-Post

I had grand plans for a rollicking history post on Roger II of Sicily but that will have to wait.

Instead, Caren and I went out for dinner, then we walked the dog and finished up our taxes for the year.

Now to continue read the late Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum. I last read it probably two decades ago and it’s just as engaging now.

Relax.
