Currently reading Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance and last night I finished Death’s End (final book of 3 Body Problem). That book series could’ve easily been cut down by hundreds of pages. Interesting idea but kind of hard to follow in a number of spots. I guess I wanted more aliens and space.

I usually do something like that between fiction and non. I have Crime and Punidhmebt in my waiting to be read stack. Also, what part of the Old Testament did it go over?
The whole thing. Think of it like a history book that begins with a chapter or two about writings from various religions on how the universe and Earth were created, and "heroes of old" like titans and monsters. Then it explains what all was going on in the world from the time God first spoke to Abram through the end of the Old Testament. I remember reading that Egypt cycled between greatness and crappiness throughout their dynasties. I think the Assyrians were a force to reckon with for centuries, too. And there was often fighting going on...our World War 1 is really closer to World War 100.
