Currently reading “ The Cultural Cold War: The CIA and the World of Arts and Letters” by Frances Stonor Saunders. It’ll blow your mind. Poof. It really does read like a John Carre novel.
Contemplating purchasing either a bloc of either Patrick O’Brian’s sea novel books (think “Master and Commander”) or the Bernard Cornwall “Sharpe’s Rifles” series from eBay for light reading.
(Concurrently reading eBay bloc purchase of the “Flashman” series by George MacDonald Fraser. “Problematic” with a capital “P.” Very fun though, although I “tut tut” at the numerous inappropriate sections [many] when necessary. THIS IS PULP FICTION, not highbrow literature.)
If you like Patrick O'Brian nautical fiction, take a look at Dewey Lambdin's nautical series.
