John is on page 15 of 384 of The CIA Book Club: The Secret Mission to Win the Cold War with Forbidden Literature
I’ve learned how state censorship wasn’t just about banning political dissent, but about shaping inner life—suppressing self-sufficiency and alternative ways of living through even seemingly harmless books.

John is 25% done with How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer
My dad read Montaigne and I never did. My friend, David, was reading this book when I was crashing at his house after evacuating from New Orleans during hurricane Ida. I started on his hardtop and am finishing with the iPad version. How can I put down a book with the title “How to Live”. I’ll take any advice at this point.

John is starting House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia
Saw this author on CNN and MSNBC this week and he told some interesting stories. Pretty sure, I'm already convinced Trump has more connections to Putin than he has let on, but willing to be convinced he's a full-fledged puppet.
