I'm trying to compile some beach reads for when that time comes, but also just plugging along. I've started two of these (Living Hell and Salvation), the rest are on deck.

Nonfiction

- Living Hell. Seeks to de-glorify the Civil War by showing how horrible it was for all involved.

- Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution. This was recommended by my new academic advisor as a good general history of the period.

Fiction

- The Algebraist by Iain Banks

- Salvation by Peter F. Hamilton

- A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
