More books
Current reading:
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke.
This is my main reading at the moment. Highly praised novel in the fantasy genre, about 2 magicians in England during the Napoleonic wars.Well-written and very entertaining.Creates a world of its own with magic, fairies etc.
The New Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought - Edited by Alan Bullock and Stephen Trombley (2000)
Reference book on all aspects of modern thought including entries on Sociology,Post-Modernism,Perestroika,Virtual Reality,Psychology,Mathematics,Darwin,Punk , etc.
Great book to dip into and I found myself following cross-references to other entries.
Got it from library but might purchase it.
House of Bush , House of Saud - Craig Unger (2005)
"The secret relationshipo between the world's two most powerful dynasties"
Very interesting.Good accounts of the arming of Iraq, Saudi involvement in arming the Contras etc.
Planet Simpson - How a cartoon masterpiece documented an era and defined a generation - Chris Turner.
Very good.A lot of hyperbole but plenty to laugh at and wallow in here for Simpsons Heads.Copius notes but no index unfortunately.
