Non-political question: Favorite book of 2022. I rarely read anything


current.

My favs for the year were Grant's Memoirs (as a follow up to Grant by Chernow).

Rick Atkinson's the British are Coming as well as going back and reading 1776 by McCullough.

I got a book with six of the first seven Bond books, so that was hilarious to read. Very Raymond Chandler like.

Also enjoyed With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa and then re-watching Pacific.

I retire in February and have four Falkner's, War & Peace and several coffee table books lined up to go this spring, plus whatever I get for Xmas.

Pax.
