True or False

By Cindy L. Otis

5 stars

In 1274 BCE, Ramses II's Egypt was invaded by the Hittites. He transformed into a god and defeated the Hittites...... at least it is how he said to his people. But the letters between the Hittites' Hattusili III and Ramses II say different stories. Hattusili asked "Dude, why do you keep lying?" Yes, there have been fake news for millennia in human history. This book shows fake news from ancient history to current politics (including Trump) and how to detect fake news. I found the second half of the book rather boring, but the history was very interesting.
The Mars Room

By Rachel Kushner

5 stars

I have always admired authors, who write the world that they have not experienced/ not been from. I do not think that this Berkeley and Columbia University graduate experienced prisons nor committed crimes but she describes the lives in prison, making each character vividly and convincingly alive. Shortlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize.
