Been reading a few books as assigned reading for a history class I'm taking.
Giovanni and Lusanna by Gene Brucker is a very interesting case about a so-called marriage between two people in Renaissance Florenece. I also have to write an essay about this book, but it's interesting enough to the point where it isn't a chore. It almost reads as a modern courtroom drama, would recommend to anyone interested in court cases or Medieval and renaissance italy.
Also reading Peasant Fires by Richard Wunderli, a quirky book about the not so great lives of German peasants. Still finishing this book, about half-way through.
As for fun reading on my own time, I haven't been able to do much of that, but I do really want to read Mario Puzo's The Godfather, eventually.
