I’m reading two.
Battle Cry of Freedom is about the American Civil War, it’s very good and accessible about a period of history I knew nothing about. The first third is devoted to the background and causes, I’d defiantly recommend it if anyone is interested in that period. The second is a bad Sci-Fi book called
The Reality Dysfunction, it’s not horrible bad but the main character has slept with about half the galaxy, it's worse than a Mills & Boon book.
