5. Will start Lee Child's "Killing Floor" the 1st Jack Reacher novel

The copy I have has an introduction by Mr. Child on how Jack came to be. It is really interesting.

About Doctor Zhivago I have a confession to make. I put it down unfinished. I do have an excuse, albeit a lame one. Somehow I skipped several chapters. I was reading without understanding why things were happening. I did figure it out and tried to find where I had been. Anyway, I think I will put the Doctor back on the shelf and pick it up come winter.

I have a better sense of how Russia became the Soviet Union. Like most big events it is not simple.
