I'm sick of talking about politics. What books are you reading?
I'm reading "A World at Arms: A Global History of World War II" by Gerhard Weinberg. And I've been listening to the audiobook of Pete Townshend's "Who I Am" when I'm driving.
What are you reading?

Is he disappointed that the thing about not dying before he got old hasn't worked out? I love the Who.

It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

I'm just about to start The Birth of Classical Europe, by Simon Price and Peter Thonemann. This is a library check-out, which I've started to do again as I'm quite low on funds and have not been able to find a job for many months now.
