History of walls built for communal self-defense.. First chapter goes back to Mesopotamia.. Pretty good so far, relevant history for a current debate..

My favorite author/writer..

Please review this one. I read it recently it rocketed up for me. Probably a top-7 favorite book for me.

I quite liked it. I knew the backstory going into it - -hadn’t realized you had read it recently until after I started.

great little book with a big meaning. My favourite parts were with Granny when she caught the gambling bug and spiralled into a bit of madness. Not as heavy as my other experience with Dostoyevsky - the brothers karamazov. I don’t know if I’ll get to another one of his this year but 2020 for sure - what should I read crime and punishment or the idiot ?

Never read either. Unfortunately, I've not read his bricks.

book club for 2020?

 

[GB]

I haven't read The Idiot, it's on my shelf waiting for some spare time, but Crime & Punishment is excellent and not a particularly long read.

Guess like a lot of readers, Crime and Punishment is my favorite Dostoevsky book..
'House of the Dead' is an underrated Dostoevsky read I like a lot (story based on his experience in Siberia).. (peace)

Nice. I think I’d like to read crime and punishment - seeing as how it’s his most known book.

haven’t seen you posting lately. Still reading a ton?

 

[Babe Ruth]

History of the couple that owned the prime real estate of Malibu, CA.. how they came to acquire it, and how it was encroached on..

I've just started Lisa Taddeo's Three Women, that'll be book 90 this year.

I've cut my time on HF a lot but I'd be happy to take part in a book club here.
