Weekend Check In

I’m back!

Niagara Falls from the American Side by Frederic Edwin Church (1867)

Hola subscribers! Hope your 2025 has been off to a good start. I’ve been on a sabbatical from writing due to busyness at the day job and a lack of things to say. I’m working on a new post on Roman history that I should have up next week.

In the meantime, here’s what I’ve been up to on the literary front.

Currently Reading:

• The Iliad (trans. Richmond Lattimore)

• Othello

• The Classical Tradition by Gilbert Highet

On the agenda for 2025:

• Andrew Jackson and the Course of American Freedom, 1822–1832 by Robert Remini

• Moby Dick

• Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, 1932–1940 by William Leuchtenberg

• Clashing Over Commerce: a History of U.S. Trade Policy by Douglas Irwin

• Buckley by Sam Tanenhaus

• The Laws by Plato (trans. CDC Reeve)

What are you reading? Anything exciting planned for this year? Please sound off in the comments section. Will be back next week with the post on Rome. Hope you have a good weekend and live in anticipation until then!
