Finished:

The Ghosts of Eden Park: The Bootleg King, the Women Who Pursued Him, and the Murder That Shocked Jazz-Age America by Karen Abbott

Still Reading

Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace on my chapter-a-day to finish in a year pace.
Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain (Wood translation) - I really wish I had read this during the pandemic. It would have been absolutely perfect to read during the long isolation periods. As it is, I am really, really enjoying it now - much more than I enjoyed is masterwork A Death in Venice.

New Reads:

Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune by Bill Deadman and Paul Clark Newell, Jr.
Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World by French comic artist Pénélope Bagieu and translated by Montana Kane
