What are you reading?

Just finished Rick Atkinson's The British Are Coming, the first in his Revolution Trilogy which came out in 2019. The second part is coming out in April. The dude just turned 72, he better finish part 3!
I love Rick Atkinson, and devoured his Liberation trilogy. I've been holding off on this one until it is completed. I tend to get really into a series like this, and I don't want to wait between volumes like I did with the Liberation books.
 
Currently still in the middle of "My Effin Life" - Geddy Lee's memoir. The chapter on his parents' survival of the Holocaust is just brutal. Just got to the part of the making of 2112. Great read so far if you're a Rush fan.
Given that I've read *both* of Neal Peart's memoir volumes, this seems like something I should hop on:).

Oh for sure. And I'll admit that I took a break from reading this and only just got back on it around last week. It's an engrossing book, I was just doing a poor job of carving out any time for me to sit down and read for the past 2-3 months.

He devotes an entire chapter to his grandparents and parents surviving the Holocaust. It's a very gripping read. All the other chapters are focused on the chronological evolution of the band and what Geddy was going through during those times. If you're a Rush geek, you'll love it.

I know what you mean, I debated the same. Gonna be a long wait for #3.
 
Sherman’s March by Burke Davis is my current undertaking. I’m about two thirds through it. Sherman’s Army has crossed the border into North Carolina and is marching on Fayetteville to destroy the arsenal.

My primary takeaway from the book thus far is how utterly undisciplined were the Union troops.

Like Bama at a lesser bowl, many really really didn't want to be there. Many got dragged off the streets up North because they couldn't pay their way out.
