Cold War strategy section makes it even clearer that rational irrationality and mutually assured destruction are the way the Brexiters are approaching negotiations with the EU. FFS.

Good short summary chapters so far, all well written - but damn, strategy was simplistic right up to the Second World War...

Great charity shop find for a Sunday afternoon when feeling angry at politics and wondering how to channel that anger.

This reads rather well. Not sure why I gave up first time...

Starting again, having given up last time. Can't remember why. Recently saw enthusiastically recommended somewhere, so back to Japan at the dawn of the 19th century it is.

Nosemonkey is 26% done with Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It

Liked this lots, then got distracted by its recommendation of using Anki for learning Japanese, and forgot to read the rest. Now back to it to get myself beyond rote learning via flashcards and make some real progress...

Nosemonkey is 11% done with The Grass Crown (Masters of Rome, #2)

I've worked out my issue with these books. Lots of good research, convincing historical interpretation, strong characterisation - but terribly clunky writing. Especially the dialogue - of which there's lots. Utterly unnatural, and terrible flow.
