The Peopling of British North America: An Introduction Bernard Bailyn
Beautifully written, incredibly informative overview of who came to North America in the 17th and 18th centuries, the nature of their lives here, and the peculiar culture that developed into America. Couldn’t put it down. Easily one of the best history books I have ever read.

The Trinity Six   Charles Cumming
Very entertaining spy novel about an English professor of Russian Studies whose research gets him involved with British and Russian spies trying to cover up cold war treasons. A little light, but enjoyed the plot and the characters quite a bit.
