Catherine, Dori, Lefty, PL,
Happier Holidays for you and yours.
My daughter had a heart attack March 31st followed by Deep Vein
Thrombosis.
She's well now --her forner self!-- and the bills have been paid. Hurrah
on both accounts.
During the months following the crisis, I was overwhelmed with duties amd
had to abandon my Internet wok.
I haven't resumed it yet, but here lately I can indulge in lots of
reading.
Right now I'm reading Peter H Wilson's *The Thirty Years War: Europe's
Tragedy* Harvard Univ Pr 2009. (Hitler was unhappy the way it ended.)
I just finished Zeev Sternhell's *The Anti-Enlightenment Tradition.* Yale
2010 [sic]. Recommended.
I've also read Victor Klemperer's books:
(a) *I Will Bear Witness; A Diary of the Nazi Years 1933-1941*
(b) the same 1942-1945
(c) *The Language of the Third Reich.*
Cheers,
Jaspar

EXCELLENT TO HEAR FROM YOU, JASPAR...AND GLAD TO KNOW YOUR DAUGHTER IS WELL AND THAT THE BILLS HAVE BEEN PAID! CONGRATS ON ALL COUNTS! THE BOOKS YOU'VE BEEN READING SOUND LIKE GOOD ONES, AND I WILL PUT THEM ON MY "TO READ" LIST. 
AND IT WILL BE GREAT IF YOU CAN POST HERE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
