Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss.

Watching a ton of his videos on Youtube too. Going to apply a bunch of his principles on cold calls next week, we'll see how they do. I'm willing to bet very well, considering his outcomes were life or death.

Have you read anything by James Michener?  Centennial is a one of my favorites.  Kinda similar to James Clavell stuff

1Q84, by Haruki Murakami. I'm trying it again as I got distracted the first time I read it, and it's not the kind of book you can pick up again after a long absence.

I needed a little piece of non-fiction to read after finishing A Mother's Rule of Life, and my husband suggested Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

The Burgundians, Bart van Loo. It covers the history of this nation from the Germanic people originating somewhere in Eastern Europe to the Valois Burgundians who went extinct in 1477 with the death in battle of Charles the Bold (his name was really relating to his recklessness). Their territory spanning the Burgogne, Netherlands, Belgium (where Burgundian is a term for eating and living well) and was the source of such innovations as oil painting as now understood, a complex administrative and financial system and even a sort of standing army, although it did the last Dukes not much good. The Habsburgs inherited the lands, like most of their lands, by marriage. Emperor Charles V saw himself as Burgundian, while his son Philip II was indifferent, and perhaps this distance was a factor in the loss of the Netherlands.
