#2 So I just finished this page turner... Truly a riveting read on the years, days, and hours that led to the end of the USSR. Made me think of my undergrad studies with Dr. Barbara Chotiner... #UAPoliSci #17booksin2017

#11: The completion of this book required lunch...Harland Sanders worked a RR in Jasper AL where he met his 1st wife, did not hit it big until he was in his mid 60's... A great read! A nice, interesting, and not too long biography. #17booksin2017 #TheColonel

#16: A study of Vatican policies and actions leading to and during WWII. An interesting and comprehensive study. Don't know if it's right down the middle though... #17BooksIn2017 #HistoryMajor
