The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson

This was fascinating. Such a great portrait of what it’s actually like to go through something like the Blitz. There are some interesting parallels with things going on in the world today.

I think I do occasionally struggle with history books, though. I always enjoy them while I’m reading, but have a hard time convincing myself to pick them up. They end up taking longer than I’d like. Maybe this is something I can improve over time.
