Just finishing up Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China by Paul Theroux. Read it many years ago in paper and for the most parting enjoying the book, though it feels a bit dated (published in 1988). I'd forgotten how snarky he can be.
Still slowly working my way through A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara Tuchman and Post Captain by Patrick O'Brian.
