Wot are you reading like?
« on: November 01, 2008, 10:08:03 PM »
I am presently reading 'The Barefoot Emperor-an Ethiopian tragedy by Philip Marsden. Utterly fascinating.

I have a small barrage of exchanges from readitswapit.co.uk and my next 3 books will be:

Mimi & TouTou go forth - Giles Foden

The Lost Men - The harrowing story of Shackletons's Ross sea party - Kelly Tyler-Lewis

The suspicions of Mr Whicher or The Murder at Road Hill House - Kate Summerscale

What are you reading?

Just curious like.

Currently swapping between Hagakure by Yamamoto Tsunetomo and Chaos by James Gleick.

I'm not sure about Chaos though. Three chapters in and not one mention of Nick so far... whistle:

In same book sale bought a complete set of The Waverley Novels by Walter Scott. Published in 1886. Some have never been opened, their pages are still uncut.

I am open to offers over £200  whistle:
