This is a continuation of last year's list, which continued an even earlier list of books.
Woman of Light, by Kali Fajardo-Anstine. Beautifully written account of several generations of citizens of New Mexico and Colorado.
The Winged Watchman, by Hilda van Stockum. An adventure story of kids growing up in occupied Netherlands during the last year or so of WW2.
Straw Dogs, by John Gray. Thoughts on humans and other animals. John Gray is incisive. He often comes off as snidely cynical. He helps me think.
Currently reading:
- The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky
- Mother Tongue, by Bill Bryson
- Chronicles of Narnia (to a grandson)
On my reading list:
- The Gate of Angels, by Penelope Fitzgerald (recommended by D. B. Hart)
- Corruption and the Decline of Rome, Ramsay MacMullen (see here)
- Long Walk to Freedom, by Nelson Mandela

Your thoughts are welcome! I'll try not to flinch if there are nasty ones, which I understand are fairly common nowadays.
