Finished The Big Short. Very enjoyable read, but I don't really see how the movie can do it justice without some serious handwaving to jargon.

This week I read the first 4,5 hours of Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning by Timothy Snyder as mentioned by b_b. It's been a while since I read a good history book and while this is definitely a good book, it constantly reminds me how little I actually know of the geopolitical landscape before the Cold War.
