Most of the way through Book 1 of Will Dutton's "A History of Civilization." I stole it. It's an ancient audiobook transcribed off tape. It's also abridged. Think I will pay for the next one. Kinda weird hearing Gandhi described contrmporaneously. Weirder still to think that as I progress through the books, the author will experience 40 years... And WWII, Korea, the Iron Curtain, the Berlin Airlift, McCarthy, Martin Luther King, Vietnam and Nixon. Dude stops the Middle East at the Ottoman Empire and talks about how one day China will be a thriving industrial power... From an era before Chaing Kai Chek.
