Tidefans: What are you reading?I just don't watch that much television. Reading is how I wind down at the end of the day. It's the best way to calm down my mind so I can sleep. And I usually have two or three books going at the same time.
The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson is also quite good...eye opener for me.The History of Money by Jack Weatherford
This is the second book I've read by Prof. Weatherford. The first one is about Genghis Khan.
The history nerd in me is fascinated by the way money revolutionized the world economy. I've read a few of Ferguson's books, but not that one. I may add it to my list.The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson is also quite good...eye opener for me.
Really good book of history and of their relationship, etc. Harper Lee hated all the attention late in life...her statement over and over: "All I did was write a book."Afternoons with Harper Lee -- by Wayne Flynt. He was my major professor in college and is THE historian of the South in the last few decades.
