Solomon Kane lays down a righteous arse kicking in feudal Japan against a demon possessed daimyo. Excellent book in, a until now, lacklustre series.

Was incredible - how Russia invading Ukraine is not the same as a country invading it's former African colony beggers belief. Just can't fathom some clowns take on this.

Pretty accessible, entertaining book. About to begin the section on the Middle Ages.

Recently finished and am reading a few really good ones:

Technofeudalism by Yaris Varoufakis.
From Goodreads: In his boldest and most far-reaching book, the visionary economist and number-one bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis shows how the owners of big tech became the world's feudal overlords – replacing capitalism with a fundamentally new system that enslaves our minds, defies democracy and rewrite the rules of global power. But as Varoufakis also reveals, technofeudalism contains new opportunities to thwart and overturn it, bringing into focus more clearly than ever the revolution we need to escape our digital prison.

A Brief History of Intelligence: AI, Evolution and the Five Breakthroughs That Made Our Brains by Max S. Bennett. Just a really fascinating account of how our brains evolved. Nearly finished this one.

The Good Life by Robert Waldinger. Just started this one. Dr Waldinger is the director of the largest longitudinal study on happiness.

And finally Nexus (how very meta) by Yuval Noah Harari. His books are always excellent reads. Also just started.
