"Tess of the D'Urbervilles," a late 19th century novel by Thomas Hardy. Great book but lots of archaic English. It is about an awful man who abandoned his beautiful new wife upon finding out she was not a virgin.

Just started "Prisoners of Geography" by Tim Marshall. It promises to be a 'concise and useful primer on geopolitics'.
Btw, only a handful of book posts in the last six months... We obviously need more lesepfeifen :puffy:

Just finished "The Pipe Book" by Alfred Dunhill. Lousy book unless you want to follow the development of the pipe from the Aztecs through native American development of the "Peace Pipe" etc. Not what I expected. For pleasure I am reading the latest "Longmire" book. Have also been reading all the old Ed McBain 87th Precinct series.

After reading “On The Road” and “And The Hippos Were Boiled In Their Tanks” I needed another Kerouac. Currently I’m reading “Dharma Bums”.

I'm reading my favorite book again. The Hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy. I will never get tired of this story.

Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent. Eduardo Galeano (wrapped up after breakfast and on to the next that looks like it can be finished by bed)

Profit Over People: Neoliberalism and Global Order. Noam Chomsky

Heavy hitting. Hugh Howey's Wool is next in the pipeline for something less depressing.
