Although this is mostly a mystery blog, every now and then I post something else that looks interesting. And Robert Tombs’ The English and Their History, which was a New York Times 2016 Notable Book, looks pretty interesting. It also looks pretty long (1074 pages), so be forewarned! But I find that I can take breaks while reading non-fiction books in a way that I can’t with genre fiction – picking them up and putting them down, and even reading some fiction in between, so long as I don’t wait too too long before picking them up again. So I may tackle this one myself! Oh yeah, and it’s on sale right now in the US for $1.99.
