Amazing. Looped together to be informative, but with a wonderful narrative to keep it interesting.

Vladimir & I are ready! I suspect I‘ll read parts throughout the day & let them simmer. I think it‘s remarkable that nearly 250 years after its publication Paine‘s words still resonate. For me, I‘m hoping this read helps me reflect on history & the current political dynamic.

Paine, a man with no prospects, helped ignite the colonies with this work. Anyone can be a hero.

What do you hope to learn/gain from today‘s reading?

Butterfinger I don't think I have ever read it - only parts in social studies, and that's a maybe. I want to see the parallelism of the two eras - creation of modern democracy and today. I am ashamed that I haven't already read it. I minored in history, for heaven's sake. . 5h
Librarybelle @TheBookHippie @kspenmoll @Butterfinger I read this for my AP Government class 25 years ago when we dove into pre-Revolution writings and the new nation‘s Federalist and Anti-Federalist writings. I don‘t think I‘m quite ready to dive into those writings quite yet! 😂 4h
Deblovestoread I don't recall ever reading it and now seems like the right time 4h

Warriors of Anatolia, by Trevor Bryce (2019)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A survey of the rise, reign, and fall of the Hittite Empire from one of the major English-language scholars of the field.

Review: Hittite history is notoriously difficult to understand, due primarily to a lack of solid evidence. This volume is a solid attempt at putting the available pieces together. Cont.

Mattsbookaday Unfortunately, I don‘t think the author succeeded in telling the story in a compelling way. The fact that it look me 15 months to finish it says pretty much everything you need to know. But the material is solid and it‘s a helpful addition to understanding the Ancient Near Eastern world.
