Just a quick review on a few recently read book.
The Inimitable Jeeves
Yet another collection of Bertie Wooster and chums being saved so quiety and wonderfully by the wonderful, as ever, Jeeves. No need to say anymore as these books are all the same, but yet they remain moresome.
Lying - Sam Harris.(kindle)
A superb read about lying, particularly good bit about white lies and how they are pointless and eventually create problems, i recommend this to everyone, you will learn something and next time you tell a porky, you will feel a tang of guilt, only about 30 pages too.
Homage to Catalonia - George Orwell
I have a new favourite book. This is the finest Orwell book I have read. He wrote this a few months after leaving Catalonia, it's a lookback at his time, from arrival to leaving, with some fantastic moments, like attacking the fascists in the deep night, to the Communist propoganda lies and them turning on PUOM and the Anarchists.
Love, Poverty and War - Christopher Hitchens
Another collection of essays from my hero. As usual the quality if top notch, but I cherry picked the subjects I wanted to read about. I read approximately 3/4 of the essays, I especially liked the one, pre and post 9/11.
Curently reading, Letters to a Young Contrarian - Christopher Hitchens.
Books to read; Lucky Jim - Kingsley Amis, The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Islamist - Ed Husain.
