The last six books I’ve read this summer were all excellent, worth the trouble, and I recommend. We’re going to Portugal, Spain, and Morocco in September, and I’ve been studying Portugal in anticipation of the trip. I just finished Conquerors by Roger Crowley. It’s the story of Portugal’s explorers rounding Africa, reaching India, and becoming the great power of the Indian Ocean. I love detail and minutia in my History books, and I got it here.

Prior to that, I re-read Cicero: The life and times of Rome’s greatest politician. I love the history of the fallen republic, and it’s something of a fad right now. Before that, Caesar by Goldsworthy. The same history, but from the opposite perspective.

The science fiction book I read this summer was Seveneves. It was recommended by Bill Gates as a summer book. It was near science that then jumped ahead. You can expect it to be a series of blockbuster movies in a couple of years. It’s like reading three different books in one.

Alexander Hamilton by Chernow was thick and slow. You don’t know what you think you know about our founding fathers, and it was so good that I might read it again.

I began with A Moveable Feast by Hemingway because I always begin and end with him. You can’t read too much of him.

I recommend all of these books for your consideration. I’m currently in that lull after I finish a great book and before I find the next one. I hate that time.
