Thank you!!
I wonder if anyone that read more than 1 book came up with a "theme" that was connective in all your books.

For me it was Juvenile Delinquency.

Lynn (lynnsreads) | 159 comments I finished two books. The challenge prompted me to finally read Breakfast at Tiffany's and Three Stories 5*. I also had an excuse to read my favorite genre - Golden Age 카지노싸이트 Fiction.

I looked up [book:City
after your post. I have never heard of it before. I think my son might enjoy that so I sent a suggestion to him. Love this group for all the great suggestions.

I was reading in Solar History: The Connection of Solar Activity, War, Peace and the Human Mind in the 2nd Millennium

"In addition to actual increased occurrence of crime and anti-social behavior in Grand Solar Maximum, there is a non-linear increase in the academic and public discussion of crime in these turbulent times. Fig. 4 shows the appearance of the terms ‘maladjusted’, ‘delinquent’, ‘child guidance’ in English publications from 1500- 2000;"

The peak on the graph was 1950's.
