Here's my plans for reading for this year. Let's see how effectively I stick to them. (Hint: probably not well.)
(Books I read will be added as replies to this thread as I complete them.)

Just listened to an interview with him. So good. Here's a clip from email. Search for Hayden Center. ?
On Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. ET, the Hayden Center hosts Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Tim Weiner for a deep dive into his explosive new book, The Mission: The CIA in the 21st Century, a New York Times bestseller. He’ll be joined by NPR’s Greg Myre for an unfiltered conversation about the Agency’s battles, successes, and setbacks, and the future of American intelligence.
@captainfez A favourite 🥰
Many quotable quotes like:
"I’m a man, so I married. Wife, children, house, everything. The full catastrophe."
and the one that resonated strongly with my binary 20-something self:
"If a woman sleeps alone, it puts a shame on all men"
