    Heretics of Dune, Herbert.

    Loved it but man, there is a scene who made me laugh so damn hard.

    Nothing special, a dude and woman are talking. But here is the thing, the woman is wearing a red leotard and a blue cape.

    Fcking 80's lol, i swear.

    Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville. I read excerpts of it in college, but figured this would be the perfect time to read it in its entirety.

    Dead Reckoning : The Untold Story of the Northwest Passage (2017) by Ken McGoogan

    Attachment 101047

    With this book—his most ambitious yet—Ken McGoogan delivers a vivid, comprehensive recasting of Arctic-exploration history. Dead Reckoning challenges the conventional narrative, which emerged out of Victorian England and focused almost exclusively on Royal Navy officers. By integrating non-British and fur-trade explorers and, above all, Canada’s indigenous peoples, this work brings the story of Arctic discovery into the twenty-first century.

    Orthodox history celebrates such naval figures as John Franklin, Edward Parry and James Clark Ross. Dead Reckoning tells their stories, but the book also encompasses such forgotten heroes as Thanadelthur, Akaitcho, Tattanoeuck, Ouligbuck, Tookoolito and Ebierbing, to name just a few. Without the assistance of the Inuit, Franklin’s recently discovered ships, Erebus and Terror, would still be lying undiscovered at the bottom of the polar sea.

    The book ranges from the sixteenth century to the present day, looks at climate change and the politics of the Northwest Passage, and recognizes the cultural diversity of a centuries-old quest. Informed by the author’s own voyages and researches in the Arctic, and illustrated throughout, Dead Reckoning is a colourful, multi-dimensional saga that demolishes myths, exposes pretenders and celebrates unsung heroes. For international readers, it sets out a new story of Arctic discovery. For Canadians, it brings that story home.

    The Karp-Ciampi series is really good. I've read most of the books in the series.

    Agreed. We spoke about this last year and my opinion still hasn't changed regarding the series.

    After finishing Birdsong (which was very good), I've carried on the war theme but I've gone with a book aimed at a younger audience called Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo. His books are fast reads but I'm yet to read one that hasn't impressed.
