    I am nearly finished with the complete set of Sherlock Holmes stories. Some were as good as I remember. A few are real stinkers.

    I am also reading the complete novels of Jane Austen. She had a genius for showing the drama found in ordinary lives of ordinary people.

    I am somewhere between two and four weeks out from publishing my next book.

    I am seriously toying with the idea of writing commercial erotica. I will select a different name, of course.

    Great book: The Geraldines and Medieval Ireland, the making of myth, Peter Crooks & Sean Duffy, editors, Four Courts Press.

    If you've ever wondered why the Normans invaded Ireland and why, and who set up the most powerful dynasty in the country, then this book will answer the questions. It's fabulous history that gives the other side of the story of the Desmond rebellions and the English Crown.

    I can't stay focused enough to read, anymore, plus, if the first paragraph doesn't grab me, I lose interest.

    I currently have two books that I started months ago, 'Atlas Shrugged,' and the other is a John Grisham book, I can't even remember the title.

    The most reading I do these days, is here.

    I started rereading the John Jakes historical novel series. I just started The $#@!s. It is remarkable how much more I know this time around than I did the last time.

    This may cause some to accuse me of being a "conspiracy theorist" but:

    Killing the Deep State by Jerome Corsi

    Understanding Trump by Newt Gingrich

    Slackware Linux Essentials by Chris Lumens, David Cantrell, Logan Johnson and Alan Hicks

    I would delve further into my library but the topic did specify "lately."

    You should finish Atlas Shrugged I found it a little tedious at times but overall it is a fairly decent book.

    The movies that released, allegedly based on the book, prior to the election were a supreme disappointment.
