        If you are interested in Native American culture and history I have quite a few books you can have - as I have decided to thin out my belongings all round and would be happy to see them have a good home .

        I also have hundreds of books that belonged to my brother, who passed away 18 months ago - so if anyone wants to pm me with their particular interests I will see what I have in both collections.

            Am interested in nearly all history, particularly post WW1 European history, or entire histories of specific countries.

                  Careless People by Sarah Wynn-William. An exposé of Facebook by someone who was employed just a few levels below Zuckerberg.

                  Recently finished:

                  Too Much And Never Enough. An excoriating and revealing biography of Trump by his niece, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist.

                  Time After Time by Chris Atkins, a journalist who was jailed for fraud and writes about the appalling state of the prison system and the Kafkaesque procedures and work practices therein.

                    Thanks for the offer. I started reading the book after reading the Lonesome Dove four book series by Larry McMurty. Thoroughly recommended as is the Lonesome Dove mini series with the late great Robert Duval

                      I enjoyed 'Careless People'.

                      It got better - and more entertaining - as she became more disillusioned and stopped believing the corporate crap.

                        In that case, give 'Time After Time' ago. It's pithy and witty.

                          There are a lot of books with that title.

                          Are you referring to the one about the prisons crisis, or the one described as ‘an epic sapphic romance’?
