Anyone reading Origins of Totalitarianism? I'm struggling with how dense it is with information, I understand she expects historians to be reflexively aware of much of what she's talking about, but I don't have a strong knowledge of European 19th century finance and it's tough. You recommend any good documentaries or supplemental material that I can read that will kind of smooth it out?

I don't read much Sci-fi but I genuinely enjoyed the Ender books, especially the Shadow series.
A realistic view on human nature, the need for always bettering but doubting yourself along with others, politics and war.

Although I'm not sure if an adult would enjoy them as much as a young adult, I read three of the books when I was 17-19 and really liked them. They got me into politics, history of war and strategy along with more literature. I'm sure you could find something better more suited for an adult.
