A Very Casual Weekend Reading Update 

Sounds like some great books for you recently, Micah! Patriots sounds like excellent narrative nonfiction. I really enjoyed Middlemarch (and was surprised how much I enjoyed it!). It took me a full month to read it for a book group, but I liked the clever writing, and how her wit was still relevant today. Enjoy your books!

Been checking youtube every day for your update 😁 Also reading Middlemarch. Finding it challenging, but I’m slowly getting used to her style and the last few chapters got easier to read.

Its really nice to see someone my age giving the classics the love and attention they deserve.

A bell rang in my head when I heard the name A.J. Langguth; not a common name. I went to my phone and googled " Jesus Christs Langguth ", and sure enough, he was the author of the oddball and sometimes very funny book, " Jesus Christs ", which I read many decades ago. It's a small book that imagines the New Testament stories playing out in many different times and places. I had no idea that Langguth grew up to be a fine historian.

Thanks for reviewing Adams vs Jefferson. I've had my eye on it for sometime If you like Ferlings work and interested in the American Revolution, I recommend his Almost a Miracle.

Awesome video Micah! We don’t get taught about the American revolution at all in the uk at school so looks like that would be a great book to learn from!

Interesting books. I’ve done well by Steve recommendations.

PATRIOTS book is currently $2.99 for Kindle, so I went and grabbed it. Thanks for the rec! Currently reading Shōgun, trying to get ahead of the upcoming FX show. So far this books is brutal, can't wait to see this show!

Hi Micah! I did ‘The Booktube Oldie Tag,’ created by Monica Kim. I tagged you in it if you want to do the tag. It’s airing on Tuesday.

Terrific video, Micah. I’m joining in on the Middlemarch readalong too. It’s a re-read for me of a beloved novel. Thanks, Micah!

I've never read Middlemarch, though I have a copy of it on my shelves from a local used bookstore, and I've heard parts of it on audiobook from all the times my father played books on tape in the car and around the house. Since I write so many deliberate doorstoppers with large ensemble casts myself, I hope it'll be right up my alley.

Please do a review on middle March after you finish!

Hi, Micah! I'm glad someone out there in Book Tube Land is reading Kenneth Roberts. I read Arundel and Northwest Passage a long time ago, and really liked them. Northwest Passage especially has always been one of my favorites! I have another novel of his to read called Oliver Wiswell, which is the American Revolution from the point of view of the British loyalists. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Nice video Micah! I recently discovered a history book at my local bookstore titled We Two: Victoria and Albert: Rulers, Partners, Rivals by Gill have you heard of it?

Have you read Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts? I enjoyed it. Seems like it would pair well with Patriots

I think we all need a channel called "Steve recommends" eh. Thanks for more interesting books to add to my pile Micah, not American but the history always intrigues me from its early beginnings.
