I re-read some Sherlock Holmes, which was delightful. They're all up on Project Gutenberg — http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/69 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/69 Other books I liked a lot were "Operation Kronstadt" which is an incredible story about British intervention into Early USSR. Had a mix of hard engineering on how they built covert fast ships, espionage and intrigue, points around following orders vs taking initiative in an emergency, and many more. Excellent read. "Fortune's Children: The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt" was also excellent. First book to really make my understand the Gilded Age. Terrifying read in a lot of ways, actually, but well-written and insightful.
