Hoosier, Teamster, I like books, movies and TV, and wandering around very defined trails in State Parks. Go Fever! Go Pacers! Go Pirates!

Revolusi: Indonesia and the Birth of the Modern World
David Van Reybrouck
Well written and for such a heavy story the book never loses sight of the lives of real people who rarely walk around as heroes or villains. Even when the largest actions of their life can fit into those categories.

Majapahit: Intrigue, Betrayal and War in Indonesia's Greatest Empire
Herald van der Linde
most of the story is based on a manuscript a dutch doctor saved from a fire the army set to a palace in Bali. Such is history kept. Entertaining and helped cement the history in place for me.

Beyond a Boundary
C.L.R. James
I have been wanting to tackle C.L.R James for awhile but he is the granddaddy of the Caribbean historians who play such an outsized role in making history reading so much bigger and better in the 20th century. Glad I got to know him before tackling other books

Maya Jasanoff
History, adventure, explains Conrads stories and the background that shaped him plus different reactions to Conrad as a writer. Great fun.

Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire's Slaves
Adam Hochschild

I will read any book Hochschild writes. He is the perfect melding of Great Man theory and history as a movement of many people. It is all there.
