On Freedom | Timothy Snyder

Starting this tonight with Sophie.His other book , “On Tyranny”is a must read ! Shorter than this one and a recent reread for me .

Mimi28 Cute kitty 🐈‍⬛ I am thinking of starting a #litsypetprayerbook is that bad or weird? Be honest. It would basically be a list of all the Litsy pets and their names and we could I dunno start a pen pal group about them or do it on here. We encourage each other why not do it for the pets also? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ 2w

Presidential Inaugurations | Paul F. Boller, Professor of History Paul F Boller, Jr. PH.D

Good, busy weekend, but started getting a scratchy throat yesterday. And this today. It's going to be a long week (and the next 208 weeks as well)...

lil1inblue I've been struggling hard the past week. This year has been so long already and January isn't even over. 😭 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I am refusing to acknowledge today. I am tunneling into a book instead. I will pay attention tomorrow, but I did see the streets are deserted, his sycophant cannot handle a little cold. 2mo

On Freedom | Timothy Snyder

I just got this book from my library. It surprised me very much. I thought it would be a tiny book, much like two other books by this author which I recently read. Not only is it a longer book, but it seems to be a bit more difficult to understand. I‘m not really sure about this. I found the Preface a bit challenging, but I‘m going to give it my best try.

On Freedom | Timothy Snyder

This is a mix of ethics, US History, Ukraine independence and sovereignty, philosophy, civics and personal anecdotes. It‘s thought provoking, and since I agree with his claims, especially education and social mobility topics, I loved it. He made some points that I hadn‘t connected, somewhat loosely, but excellent book club discussion fodder. I continue to love everything he writes-excellent.

Magna Carta: The True Story Behind the Charter | David Starkey

They [formerly revolutionary ideas] would be worn with pride and proclaimed, after a remarkably short time, to be traditional and quintessentially English.
