Is there any other way?
Have you ever found a translation of War and Peace that didn't lose something from Tolstoy's flowing prose?
This is the most pompous post I've ever written (and yes, I'm open to correction) and I'm actually doing it with Michael D's voice in my head!

On a slightly sadder note, I see CJ Sansom died yesterday. Loved his Shardlake series of books and I am looking forward to being disappointed by the box set on Disney which is available from tomorrow.
I'm nearly finished it. It's a superbly researched and written book.

Yep, mildly disappointed, had I not read the books I would not have stuck with it
Waco: David Koresh, the Branch Davidians, and A Legacy of Rage
Jeff Guinn
A very interesting read into how people can be led by influential people. It's no wonder so many people today are caught up in conspiracy theories!
I'd give it 7/10... Started & ended well but a little tedious in the middle.

I'm reading The Longevity Imperative, Building a Better Society for Healthier Longer Lives by Andrew J. Scott.
I'm about half way through and so far it's very interesting and easy to read.

No hurry, you have plenty of time.

"Volt Rush" the winners and losers in the race to go green.
Thought provoking if you're trying to be responsibly green , in particular in relation to EV's.

With an Election process underway, I can recommend " Why is this Lying Bastard lying to me?" By Rob Burley. Explores political interviewing in the UK over a couple of decades.
