Just started For Whom the Bell Tolls after stalling out on The Stand.....
Just read Fear and loathing in Las Vegas again, definitely one of my favourite novels ever. Hunter S. Thompson really was a one off and lived an incredible life.
IN my opinion, For Whom the Bell Tolls is the best of Papa and of that generation.
Just started reading "Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis" by Ludwig von Mises.
Oliver Twist. Every time I read Dickens, I enjoy it and vow to read more, but it always takes forever for me to do so.
"The Duel," by Joseph Conrad.
Just finished reading "Freya,Of The Seven Isles ",also by Conrad.

" Resolute: the epic search for the Northwest Passage, John Franklin, and the discovery of the Queen's ghost ship" by Martin W Sandler
Just finished The Man Who Wasn’t Maigret. This biography of George Simenon is absolutely fascinating. It’s a must read for anyone who enjoys the Belgian detective.
Undaunted Courage about the Lewis and Clark Expedition by Stephen Ambrose. 
just finished "One, Two, Three, Four: The Beatles in Time" by Craig Brown (American version is, I believe, titled "150 Glimpses of the Beatles"). I have read many books about the Beatles and their music and this, by far, the very best. At first, I did not like it inasmuch as the author has created sort of a non-linear biography form which is made up of many relatively brief snapshots. This is sort of instagram on the page. After reading for a bit, I adapted to what he is doing and, before long, was really enjoying it. If you don't know much about the Beatles this will be very informative and entertaining. If you know a good deal already you will know some of the information but will undoubtedly be surprised by something new. In many ways this is, because of the format, a perfect nightstand book. However, it is awfully hard to put down...
Just finished “The Queen’s Gambit” by Walter Tevis and now starting Dan Rahter’s “What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism”.
