Singout
Bailedbailed

I almost finished this #bookspin, a runner up for the Canadian NF award last year, but couldn‘t get through it. It‘s a good overview of Western history, but should be more global: Asia (except the Mongols and Vietnam war) are left out, as are sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, and South America. It‘s also very military. Mosquitoes and diseases were at first an interesting historical lens that I got tired of.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa At least it‘s one more off your shelf, one way or the other. 4y

“..humans had finally the means with which to extinguish their entire civilization.”

@Cinfhen I am only on chapter 1 but will keep you posted.

Suet624 The New Yorker has always been a publication brave enough to report what others won‘t. Ronan Farrow finally was able to get his Weinstein story published there too. 4y
Cinfhen Thanks 😊 that quote is pretty terrifying 💔 4y
