Well, another year of reading has seen me travel the world of fact and fiction, and some fact that you simply couldn’t make up.
Thanks to a Book Club I’ve actually read some fiction this year – unusual for me but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to exploring more.
Of course, much of my reading has been around my favourite topics of politics, Russia and the Middle East, history, bad business, good and bad people.
At the end of this post I've added the books I’ve been buying to read over the summer break. I thought I’d list these as well. Let me know if you’ve read any of these or if you’re planning to.

1 年Good list Jaqui - so many books, so little time! I have A Gentleman in Moscow on my shelf waiting to be read and have a read a lot of Haruki Murakami's work including Kafka on the Shore. Like most Murakami books, brilliantly weird. Will check out the others on your list thanks ;) I'm just finishing Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell, and have A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami and also On the Road by John Kerouac on my fiction schedule. The non fiction list includes Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires by Tim Wu and Misbehaving by Richard Thaler. Happy reading.

1 年Jaqui Lane - Thank you Jacqui for the excellent list you shared. Taking most of January off you got me interested in some of the titles. ?? It's nothing better than reading a book turning the pages & its content teaches us lessons - what ever they are. ??
