Books

Working my way through 'The Misfits' series by Simon Brading. Excellent. A steam punk alternative to the Battle of Britain and so on. First of the series is Battle Over Britain ;-)

I've been lax on reading 1984 by George Orwell due to starting Epictetus: The Complete Works by Robin Waterfield. I like it so far, it's definitely a palate cleanser from the dystopian themes of '84.

I do have an anthology on poetry that I also sparingly read. I'll probably read one poem later tonight.

In the mornings I try to read the daily page from The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday but I don't always get around to it.

Recently finished a re-read of Lord of the Rings, and am working my way through The Silmarillion again now. Found them in gorgeous hardback editions that also have Tolkien’s illustrations. Ideally once I’m finished with Silmarillion I’ll start in on Tolkien’s other works that I’ve never read at all - Unfinished Tales, Morgoth’s Ring, etc.

Just finished up Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes and am starting up The Stranger by Albert Camus.

I have just started And all so quiet by Mareike Fallwickl. I'm reading the original in German, so not sure about the English translation. Anyways, I loved The Rage That Remains, it's been almost a year since I devoured it in a few sittings and I'm still thinking about this book on the regular. So I really hope And all so quiet can keep up with it.
