Lincoln: A Very Short Introduction
Allen C. Guelzo
Listening to a lecture about Lincoln by Allen Guelzo and I'm struck by how the Democratic Party of today mirrors that of the 1840s-1850s: elitist, setting the poor (working) classes against the middle class.

The Histories
Herodotus
Finished Herodotus's "The Histories" at last. Superb work, worth the time it took. Can't wait for the woke Netflix adaptation. BTW, people who babble about "cruel & unusual punishment" in our justice system should read what Greeks & Persians did to people they were pissed at. 😬

White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era
Shelby Steele
@realchrisrufo @just_mindy That's been true for decades. Ever read "White Guilt" by Shelby Steele? In one part he talks about Liberal college administrators in the 60s who couldn't or wouldn't deal with attacks by campus radicals of the "New Left."

Coffeehouse Culture in the Atlantic World, 1650-1789
E. Wesley Reynolds
So, I'm listening to The Bookmonger podcast this morning, and the book, "Coffeehouse Culture in the Atlantic World, 1650-1789" sounds really interesting, so I look up the cost of a Kindle copy on Amazon: $103.50. For an ebook. 😱 It's not that interesting. 😐
