The Bookseller of Kabul - Åsne Seierstad

 

[North Carolina Supporter]

Antifragile… by Nassim Taleb the “philosopher of Risk”, economics professor, and author of bestseller The Black Swan.

Bold, insightful, and unique perspectives- but written with self-congratulatory style. Not for everyone.

Not reading, but currently listening to Game of Thrones audiobooks from the beginning. I spend a minimum of 15 hours a week driving for work so i can get through an audiobook a week (most books, GOT will take a week and half)

Gone Fishing : Mortimer and Whitehouse
As an avid piscator Not quite what I expected but thoroughly enjoyable so far

I looked at the format of that Gone fishing book in a charity shop a year so ago and didn't like the look of it however really enjoy the TV series.

I would recommend by Bob Mortimer And Away, The Satsuma Complex and The Hotel Avocado

The Plot Against America , by Phillip Roth. Written in 2001, as an "alternative history" - (what if pro-Nazi Charles Lindbergh had become USA President in 1940?), it is now very scarily prescient, being quite chillingly similar to ...ahem.... current events.
