Read any good books lately?

I'm about 100 pages into Thomas Pakenham's The Scramble for Africa: The White Man's Conquest of the Dark Continent from 1876 to 1912. So far, it's a fascinating look at a period of history that has always been a bit murky to me. I hope that this book will give me enough background information to begin to make some sense of post-Colonial Africa.
