It's been a while since I posted here.
Just finished Stargazing by Peter Hill; a memoir of a year spent as a lighthouse keeper in Scotland when the author was a student during the sixties. It's much more engaging than it sounds!
Just started Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic by Tom Holland. So far, so good. Nice modern interpretation of the fall of the Roman Republic in the first century.
I have so man on my list (my bookshelves are always overflowing and I buy quicker than I read), but I'm way overdue to start Stalin: Court of the Red Czar by Simon Montefiore and This Is Modern Art by Matthew Collings (the delightfully irreverent British author, artist and art critic).
Actually, now that I look up over my laptop screen towards my bookshelves, there are probably about another 20 on my "must read" list.
SIGH
So many books, so little time.
Does anyone else here, like me, prefer non-fiction? I struggle to find any fiction books I really enjoy (with some notable exceptions).
