My first time reading it. I haven't read much fiction lately. I'm mainly indulging my interest in twentieth century western history, but throwing in some occasional fiction that illuminates events and breaks up the chrono-text. I'm into the late nineteen teens, just finished books about the first world war and the Russian revolution(s). After Dr. Z I think I'll reread All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Remarque.
