The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people. - G.K. Chesterton

How could not love to read when you can read things like that?

Anyway, for no particular reasonj and in no particular order, here is a list of some of the books I've read this year.

  • Thank You, Jeeves - P.G. Wodehouse
  • Foreign Devils on the Silk Road - Peter Hopkirk
  • K2: the Savage Mountain - Charles Houston, et.al.
  • The Siege of the Alcazar - Cecil Eby
  • Miniatures of French History - Hilaire Belloc

  • The Case of the Gilded Fly - Edmund Crispin
  • Mawson's Will - Lennard Bickel

He was wonderful, wasn't he.
Did you know that there's a Wodehouse society in Manhattan?
