Do you read BIG books? This one has 576 pages!

Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization ~ by Nicholson Baker, 2009, history, 576 pages

Baker doesn't write a standard historical narrative, but instead presents a series of facts from diaries, memoirs, magazines, government reports, and contempo-rary newspaper accounts and presents them chronologically.  So I guess that's history.  I haven't read this long, long book, which is also very heavy.  But I wanted to write about it because a friend of mine has donated it to our Crown Center library, and I don't want to lose track of it.  (Since it looks unread, I'm not sure my friend read it, either.)

Here's what I have posted lately:

1. There were no posts here for a few days because of a computer problem, so looking back to Thursday a week ago I pondered how we learn from mistakes, HERE.
2. The next day, I wrote about a graphic novel, HERE.
3. And that Saturday's post was about a monkey, HERE.
4. Tuesday's post HERE was rather philosophical and discussed a book that I had written about before.
5. On Thursday, I wrote HERE about the senior center where I live.
6. Friday's book beginning was about small stuff, HERE.
7. On Saturday, I wrote about the Continental Congress, HERE.
