Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing


I didn't even know that the second book existed until last week, and then I devoured it in one sitting. Must-read for anyone even remotely interested in Jewish history. It's absolutely mind-blowing in its simplicity:

The Memoirs of Gluckel of Hameln

You could see the original in Yiddish here: http://sammlungen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/mshebr/content/pageview/1557447

Some background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gl%C3%BCckel_of_Hameln

Gluckel. Loved that when I was a kid and have totally forgotten. Will need to find a copy now

I recently read The Prime Ministers based on all the many recommendations here.

I don't particularly follow politics yet I read this 700 page book in short order. Excellent.

Just finished Frank Abagnale's "Catch me if you can".

Very good book. I never watched the movie so I didn't have any spoilers. Slightly more vulgar than I thought. Not too long (~275 pages) which is a plus by me.

100 Deadly Skills

Meh. 3/5 for me. The problem with numbered list books is that often the author has to use filler information to get to that number. Stuff that are common sense.

I feel like this book was that. Besides for that a lot of the stuff I knew already from other places. There was some new information/ideas that I got from it but nothing major.

Basically if this is the first book of it's kind that you read you might find it interesting.

Just read The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt, thought it was unbelievable.

Just finished "I have lived a thousand years".

It's the first book I've read about the Holocaust.

Crazy. And here we are living like kings.
