All The Light We Cannot See. By Anthony Doerr

^I liked it very much

Just for a case: there is also another topic: https://www.alonelylife.com/threads/what-are-you-reading.42069/

I think I haven't seen this one(or I've forgotten), seems interesting

Going to start (Divine Comedy) by: Dante Aligheri written in the 14th century (translated into common English format of course) because English from this time period was not the same as it is presently, I am trying to study the English in its original state but for now I will read it translated since I don't understand some of it.

this best summarizes the book

Right now I'm reading:

The Source by James A. Michener (historical fiction)
This is very interesting. It's about the roots and history of the Jewish faith and peoples. "Centennial" is another good one of Michener's.

Brave Companions by David McCullough (historical nonfiction)
So far so good. It is a collection of essays written about little-known historical figures. He has a very pleasing writing style that really draws you in.

The Saxon Shore by Jack Whyte (historical fiction/fantasy)
This is the fourth book in a series called The "Camulod Chronicles" here in the states; It's called "A Dream of Eagles" in the rest of the world (a better name if you ask me). This is an account of the roots of the Arthurian Legend, beginning with the withdrawl of the Roman Empire from Britain, a time period that I find facsinating. It's not what I thought it would be, but it's still pretty entertaining.
