Locator: 48644BOOKS.

 Colossus: Bletchley Park's Greatest Secret, Paul Gannon, c. 2006.

The Secret History of Sharks, John Long, c. 2024

India: A History, John Keay, c. 2000, 2010.

The Quakers in America, Thomas D Hamm, Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series, c. 2003. Really, really surprisingly good. Would have liked a bit more history of the Quakers during the US Civil War.

Stanford Universtiy: A Campus Guide, Richard Joncas, David J. Neuman, and Paul V. Turner, c.1999

The New Annotated Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, edited by Leslie S. Klinger, c. 2017.

From today:

  • most excited about reading Sharks and History of India.
  • I've pretty much finished my first-time through Quakers. Will read parts of it again. Led to this post. 
  • Sharks was bought for Sophia; she wants to be a marine biologist and study at UC-San Diego. I'm hoping to convince her to study in Australia. More on that later, perhaps.
    • but the most exciting because it will be the most challenging: the History of India by John Keay. Having read the first 30 pages or so, it's going to be a great book. It will be interesting to talk this history with my Indian friends.

2024 - 2025 Winter Reading Program: here. In progress.
