Eduardo does not read books... he groks their entire content via osmosis

We read dozens of his books before we went to Africa which helped us enormously in understanding what was going on over there...and also helped us bring enough clothes.....

Laptop From Hell is a must-read; shocking, but revealing eye-opening look  inside the Biden family&amp;#39;s dysfunctional and corrupt inner circle

I haven't read it but I have reported about it in The Civil War thread.

Martin Cruz Smith&amp;amp;#39;s Latest Book Heads Back to the U.S.S.R.

Welp, I'm reading The Siberian Dilemma by Martin Cruz Smith....another novel about Moscow detective-investigator Arkady Renko....the hero of GORKY PARK. I've read several of these. They are all exceedingly interesting.

Havana Bay: An Arkady Renko Novel (Arkady Renko Series Book 4) - Kindle  edition by Smith, Martin Cruz. Literature &amp;amp; Fiction Kindle eBooks @  Amazon.com.

Well after reading a couple of Tarzan books for the first time in 55 years I decided to read another one of Martin Cruz Smith's adventures of the Moscow prosecutor's inspector, Arkady Renko....this time he is on a case in Havana, Cuba in 1996.


This case was mentioned in passing in THE SIBERIAN DILEMMA so I thought I would go back in time and read it. 

All of these books are kind of depressing because they are either in the USSR in the eighties or nineties or they are in poverty-stricken Cuba. ( Or once out in the Bering Sea when Arkady was sentenced to serve on a fishing ship for a while...)

I'm reading "The Secret Plot to Make Ted Kennedy President" by Geoff Shepard.  I have his other books in line, as well... right now, it is reading like it was written a couple of weeks ago reporting on current times. Incites me to tremendous anger...
