Books this year that I loved: "A Place of Greater Safety" - Hilary Mantel [French Revolution - Danton, Robespierre, Desmoulins ...] "One Summer: America 1927" - Bill Bryson "Napoleon the Great" - Andrew Roberts "Seveneves" - Neal Stephenson Reading "The Box" at the moment which is pretty interesting.
on “Ask HN: Books you read in 2015?” ↗…that is still in use today - Essentially united Germany and changed the face of europe - Was beloved by his people and his soldiers ( kinda Hitlerish??) Truly a fascinating man, I recommend reading Napoleon the Great by Andrew Roberts, I could list more but i literally just woke up.
