A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

THE FOLIO BOOK OF HISTORICAL MYSTERIES.
This is a collection of historical 'whodunnits', many involve murder.
These essays ask questions of many things ,events and people through our history.
What Happened on the Mary Celeste?
Why Did Rome Fall?
Where is Atlantis?
What Happened on Easter Island?
There are twenty essays and most are written by scholars in the field or those who could be considered experts.
There is not too much 'tinfoil' hat wearing, although like all history lots of the writing is subjective but this is quality writing and points are supported by data where it can be.
This collection makes for a perfect bath book with each essay running approximately 17 pages.
A very interesting read.
