I’m not sure I have the fortitude to tackle this book as I’m so anxious about the fascist influences buffeting our country. The point Madeleine Albright makes about societies suddenly waking up to find fascists have taken over is utterly chilling, but one we obviously can’t afford to ignore. I’m planning to share your wonderful list with a small book group I’m part of that has taken a historical turn.

Very curious to read your upcoming food post! More cookies?

Thanks for the review!

SciFi recommendation: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.

" I was born with a reading list I will never finish" Maud Casey Mark, I think ( I tell Myself this is my big chance) of a book as my rare opportunity to sit down with the author and have a one on one. Could you have coffee or lunch with Madeline Albright? Probably not. But through her book you spent time with her and know her and her ideas in different way now. Ive recently had time with Thoreau and learned he didnt stay in that little house all year long, He sometimes went into town to get some of his mothers cookies!
