Artificial intelligence cannot replace human creativity. Read books, listen to music, contemplate sculpture and paintings.

Last Places: A Journey in the North, by Lawrence Millman

Witty adventure travel, more literary and more pretentious than Cahill. Three stars

@HanneloreDelor5 If you want to know what the Founders were thinking 250 years ago, this is the book to read.

@Bob_Janke In addition to historical accuracy, as others have pointed out, calling an airplane a “Camel” is funny.

@11975MHz There is very little “Native American” history, because the Native Americans didn’t have writing. It’s mostly prehistory.

@voicereason05 When Bernie sees something of value, his first thought is how to seize it. If there’s a substantial difference between him and a plain thug, I don’t know what it is.

@OldSovPub It’s a ripper. Sienkiewicz is reliably entertaining.

@ronsterd89 Meat loaf: the Betty Crocker recipe. I grew up on it and I recently made it for the kids. Simple, cheap, popular

@deanpb_author Desolation Island, by Patrick O’Brian.

But by all means read the entire series. It’s magical.

Just completed with my daughter:

The Acharnians, by Aristophanes

Comedy hasn’t changed much in 2400 years. Fart jokes, sex jokes, jibes at current politicians. I just wish I got all the references. Four stars

[Randolph Geithman @RGeithman]

Just completed:

The Story of Civilization, Vol. 4: The Age of Faith, by Will Durant.

To read Durant is to sit at the feet of a scholar of almost superhuman erudition – and a writer of superlative skill. A masterpiece. Five stars
