What book(s) are you reading?

I’ve been working through the covenant by James Michener. 1200 page historical fiction on South Africa but way more entertaining than it sounds. Has anyone read other books by him?

I read it several years ago. I don't remember that much about it other than the fact that I liked it very much. I liked most of Michener's stuff. If you like his approach of telling the story of a place through the eyes of multiple generations of the same handful of families, give Edward Rutherfurd a read. He's done several really good books of that sort on Russia, London, NYC, Ireland, and SW England. All really good.

Thanks I’ll add him to my list. This book reminds me a bit of 100 years of solitude without the magical realism. I like the generations of family sagas

Anyone ever read the Stoics like Meditations by Marcus Aurelius?

Of course! I'd recommend Seneca's "Letters to Lucilius" as well.
