What I read last month...
15th/16th Century, from my decade-long Great Books project:
Guicciardini's History of Italy
Vasari's Lives of the Artists
Montaigne's Essays, Vol. 1
...and several period mysteries, as always.
Modern (later than the Renaissance, anyhow)
Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkey House
McCarthy's The Group
Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush
Dostoevsky's Devils
Enjoy!
