The Death of Politics: How to Heal Our Frayed Republic After Trump Peter Wehner June 15, 2019 On Kindle.
Finished the Dragon Jousters series and have gone back to reading the Elemental Masters book I had started. This one includes Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
I was looking at some reviews and they are overwhelmingly positive. I understand he does approach from a strictly Jewish POV of the Torah.
Would seem that out of this plethora of books and best sellers cranked out by a most accomodating publishing industry, promising clarification of the current political scene while offering bombshell tidbits on every new headline, there should arise a semblance of wisdom and nation-shaking revelation. Save your money. It's another racket.

George F. Will The Conservative Sensibility June 4, 2019. Kindle edition. 640 pages. (Emphasis mine). Yet another history lesson? We shall see
Love those. Ought to re-read them myself. Meanwhile reading the 3rd book of Lacky's Five Hundred Kingdoms series.
Finally managed to finish Brave New World. That ending hits me every time. Now, The Crisis and a Crisis in the Life of an Actress
yeah, that ending is just freaking brutal. I think a lot of our current "mass shootings" in the US could use a variant of those last 3 lines. I need to take another run through both Brave New World and 1984. Probably wouldn't hurt to refresh Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, and Fahrenheit 451, either. Then I need to read D'Toqueville again, which is almost as or more frightening.
