18. right now

"Women and Indians on the frontier 1825-1915" by Glenda Riley

but it is not very good.

Probably I will get done with that on Wednesday night and return to Autobiography of Malcolm X.

Or I might return to "The Peopling of British North America" by Bernard Bailyn

I really enjoyed "The Barbarous Years" by Bailyn and also the three books I read by H W Brands - The Age of Gold; Lone Star Nation; and The First American

Allen W. Eckert's hagiography of Tecumseh was interesting too, although I sorta mock its objectivity. It seemed quite detailed and footnoted though, although he includes an incident that Brands calls a myth.

I read "The Sane Society" a long time ago, in graduate school (although I did it on my own time). As such, I cannot remember much of it. I have "The Anatomy of Human destructiveness" around here somewhere, but have never gotten to it. These days, the only time I read books are either while on break at work or else while volunteering at the homeless shelter (which I have only done for seven months now (the shelter itself is only a year old). Otherwise I am on the internet.
