Being consumed with writing and research, I’ve neglected my first love: literature. Then I picked “Angela’s Ashes” from my shelf and began reading.
The book left me with a vivid impression of WWII-era Ireland. It’s the story of a boy growing up in dire poverty with a passive mother and an alcoholic father incapable of fulfilling his responsibility as a breadwinner.

While rushing to get ready for a long flight, I grabbed “A Little History of the World” from the bottom shelf of my bookcase and headed out. I had bought the book years ago because any competent telling of thousands of years of history in under 300 pages appealed to me.

Its perspective is largely European and light on its treatment of Central Asia and China. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth wasn’t even mentioned, but I attribute this to a need for brevity. Overall, the book takes us from Neanderthals to WWI with clarity and insight.
It’s easy to read, interesting, and informative. What more could you ask for?
