Am recovering from patellar tendon rupture repair surgery. Injured fighting woke, drag queen, liberals and Russian mercenaries... Not really, slipped while training/walking a dog.

Anyway, would appreciate your suggestions for some books to read - Africa related or not.

I know this is a studious and enlightened crowd that is well read in all topics. So, I am open to your suggestions.

Thanks....

Check out Ian Frazier. One on Siberia and another on the Great Plains. Buddy Levy's Empire of Stone and Ice is also good. He has a few other interesting titles.

I am reading the MANEATERS OF TSAVO right now sitting on a sunny beach in the Maldives.

Have literally thousands of all sorts of books on my Kindle app.

My Kindle account is shared by many friends in Africa.

And all have different interests.

Wish you get well soon.

The Frontiersmen - Allen W. Eckert is my all-time favoirte. Worth a look if you like historic novels and the pre-colonial time in the US.
