Books - What are you reading?
Discussion
Im just starting out on 2 new ones:
Nick Davies - Flat Earth News
Misha Glenny - McMafia: Seriously Organised Crime
Both seem to have been well received. The reason I bought the Misha Glenny book was that the line that said "if you loved Freakonomics...". I loved that book, so here we go.

ks... I wish people knew what it was really like. You should see some of the newbies when they first discover that you don't wear sunglasses, and you have to deal with blood and guts...and whatever else goes with it...A bloke I know has been a "forensics" guy in the Police for donkeys. Sometimes he would regale us with the odd story. Until we pleaded with him not to. It takes a certain sort if you ask me.

The American Future by Simon Schama, brilliant book, brilliant writer

Sorry but The Aeneid by Virgil
Ecce Homo by Friedrich Nietzsche
Complete Works of Plato by Plato
Just finished...
The American Future by Simon Schama, brilliant book, brilliant writer
Biographies on JM Turner, Oliver Cromwell and John Milton from the Oxford University Press
(sounds a bit like bookcase envy)Why would you read books from 3 authors like that at the same time? Especially so different.

No, of course you can digest them over however long you wish (I have decreed this
) - I was just bemused by the three Authors you had on the go. All seemed a bit heavyweight to put together. However - as I alluded to - if that's what you enjoy, more power to you. Gassing Station | Books and Literature | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
