All posts in What I’m Crunching

I’ve long wanted to read a book on Genghis Khan because all of Asia, and the world, is the way it is today (country/nation boundaries, technological progress, etc.) in part because of him.

Another great reading from this classic on August 5th’s entry:

This is a brief, but well-researched, hard-hitting look at some of the ideologies underpinning the increased divisiveness we have all felt in the United States over the last several years. Shapiro, in his usually “pull no punches” style, lays out what he sees as the Unionist and Disintegrationist visions of America.

I was searching for a non-fiction work on Genghis Khan as I’ve wanted to read one for some time. My local library app had this audiobook available, but after getting a few minutes in I realized this was historical fiction! No matter, it hooked me. Pretty fast-paced, enjoyable listen.

Goodreads says I’m 71% of the way through this classic. It’s an easy read; a couple of chapters per night is a good pace. Full of twists and turns.
