Check-in: Pick a book, any book!

[fred_mouse]

Check in post! Tell us in the comments how you went. Did you finish the book? Did you make progress? Did you procrastinate and read something else instead? Did life or something else get in your way?

And! Because this was so successful for me, I'm going to run this at least two more weeks, with the goal of picking one book each week, and getting to feel smug if I achieve it. So! The other thing you can do in the comments is tell us about a book you want to make progress on this week. I'll aim to put up a check in post at about the same time next week ('tis Sunday morning where I am, but I'm aware it is still Saturday evening for a large number of people)

Wow, that is some heavy reading for sure. The first book especially sounds amazing. If I was entertaining the notion of eternal life, I would immediately add it to my wish list but ah well... well, F* it, I am going to add it anyway.

I am from Germany and as you would imagine, our school teachings and journalism about WWII is very different from the US from what I have learned. (Though I recall there are some feminist writings about post-WWII definitely.)

Very cool that the second book has added a new foreword. I hope your re-read goes smoothly :-)
