I read for entertainment, I do not ready POLITICAL stuff, I get enough of that online. I dont read intellectual stuff, im not an intellectual and I dont read history and books of learning because Im too old and dont give a hoot anymore. So I read
Stephen King, Coontz and I reread book series like Nero Wolfe and Mike Hammer both detectives.
If you want to try reading a book for entertainment try reading one Rex Stouts, Nero Wolfe series that are unique about NYC in the 40s I would say. Nero wolfe is an obese Intellectual maybe a genius who never leaves the house, sits in a chair and can solve the most involved crimes. Really fun to read.

What the Arabs think of America, Andrew Hammond - 2007 - skimming, because it's after the Arab Spring
Embedded - a Marine Corps adviser inside the Iraqi army - Wesley Gray
Dirty little secrets of the Vietnam War - Dunnigan & Nofi - a favorite, rereading before looking @ VN in depth
George Washington's secret six - the spy ring that saved the American Revolution - Brian Kilmeade
Operation Dark Heart - Spycraft & SpOps in Afghan - Anthony Shaffer
Art of War - Sun Tzu - reread
There's not much on TV that bears watching. We're lucky that the public library has a good selection.

Crime and Punishment and Dracula are two of my favorite novels. Let me know how #11 is. I was looking at this which is along similar lines:Originally Posted by Green Arrow

Russell argues that Christianity (i.e. Catholicism) underwent a very significant transformation in its contact with European cultures.

Well, not the list for 2015. It's just what I happen to be interested in @ the moment.
Also read for entertainment - Traitor, Coontz; Strands of Sorrow, J. Ringo (conclusion to zombie apocalypse series); Brass man (reread - didn't recognize @ first, excellent story), Dark intelligence, both by Neal Asher, SF, & whatever catches my eye. I'll look for more Asher - these two are the only ones in our public library.
Reading up on preliminary to VN - I have S. Karnow's VN a history on hold, I've seen the first two episodes of the PBS TV series from the same book (I think).

Karnow's is supposed to be a classic. I read part of it in high school.

"Of all men's miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing." -Herodotus
"Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it. " -George Carlin
