I’m impressed that you’ve read enough to have a favorite!

Good choice.

My 3: Painting in Florence and Siena After the Black Death: Arts, Religion, & Society in the mid-14th Century, Millard Meiss; The Black Death, The Great Mortality of 1348-1350, John Aberth; The Great Mortality, An Intimate History of the Black Death, John Kelly

Thank you, I just downloaded it. I thought “The Great Influenza” by John Barry was very good. Also, one not talked about much any more, “And the Band Played On,” by Randy Shilts, about the origins of the AIDS epidemic. Also excellent...

I have yet to read Albert Camus’s The Plague, but I’ve read and re-read his quote for years. “There have been as many plagues as wars in history; yet always wars and plagues take people equally by surprise.”
