The Italian campaign was just absolutely brutal. This book outlines this up until the capture of Rome. The fight for Cassino was just two forces bashing their heads together with the resulting casualties. Terrible.

Book I’m reading: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York
I’ve had this book on my nightstand for years and I’m finally reading it. The story of this guy and his accumulation of power of the years is absolutely amazing.

Book Completed: Mark Twain by Ron Chernow
This is a great book by a fantastic author. Incredibly researched. A brilliant writer, a bit of of a tragic story. Take the time to read this one.

Reading, reading, reading
I haven’t updated the book list lately but I am still reading. I picked up ‘Mark Twain’ by Ron Chernow. Loving the book but for me it’s another slow read.
I just received Ryan Holiday’s reading list for July and see a couple of more that I will add to the list shortly.
