Nynorsk is a struggle for me, but I want to get closer to Norwegian literature.
An examination of conservative and reactionary influences on U.S. presidential politics in the early 1990s.

Really enjoyed this. Ganz simply shows us the social and political ferment of the early 90s, and reveals how relevant and antecedent that moment was to the eventual rise of Donald Trump. I have a little more to say about how this book makes me think about my past activity in the far right, but I'll leave that for later.

A couple chapters in—already surprisingly entertaining, for a seventeenth-century work of German literature.
I’m impressed that a book populated by such unbearable people could be so readable and wonderful. I’m possibly more impressed that Hemingway could lay bare what an obnoxious, alcohol-abusing jerk he and all his friends are and yet fail to catch his own hint, grow up, and chill out on the booze.

Have had this on my list to read for months. Very impressed so far.
I'm not qualified to review a book on the Thirty Year's War. I came to the topic knowing only that the war and the resulting peace were significant in the history of Central Europe and in the development of international relations. Peter Wilson is a very good writer and historian, and his ability to craft an intelligible narrative of an incredibly complicated and oftentimes confusing conflict is impressive. The course of the war was frequently dictated by territorial, hereditary, confessional, and dynastic political dynamics that are utterly obscure to most people today, but Wilson's storytelling made them accessible to me, a newcomer to the topic. I was also very pleased with Wilson's habit of stepping back from the history to offer historiographical comment that gave the entire treatment useful and enlightening perspective.
