I'm actually reading about four. The pressures of work mean that I actually haven't finished any of them.

Plato- The Republic
Robin Cook- The Point of Departure (something for a long train ride)
Hunter S Thompson- Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas
Douglas Adams- Hitch-hiker's Guide (again)

Yet I can't seem to make it half way through. I'll have a long summer ahead.

Am re-reading Joachim Fest's "Plotting Hitler's Death" for historical purposes...

Also have to attempt to get through Niall Ferguson's "Virtual History" and some books on the idea and practise of History...meh.

When that's done, I'll re-read Mill's "On Liberty"...

'The Dark Heart of Italy' by Tobias Jones. It's a really interesting insight into Italian culture and politics.

I'm reading 'Long Way Round' by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman and 'The Portrait of A Lady' by Henry James. Complete opposites, but both brilliant reads :smile:

Is that the one where he goes round the world on his motorbike?
If it is that one, it's very cool. I remember watching the television series and listening to the radio one too. :smile:
