What are you reading now?

Just finished T R the Last Romantic, by H W Brands, about Theodore Roosevelt. 816 pages, and it took me a while to read it. Not a "can't put it down" book. I think it would have been better if he had left out about 200 pages. For me, the best part was the last 50 pages dealing with the Wilson Administration, (Theodore couldn't stand him), World War 1, and the death of his youngest son Quentin. I also wish he had written more about Roosevelt's trip to the Amazon and the assassination attempt when he ran for president again in 1912 (less than three pages).
