Completely into spy stuff now, so "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" by John le Carré.

LINGVA LATINA PARS 1.

Very funny. And I learned more in half an hour than I did in years in school.

Lit should come back.  :blah: :blah:

For only the second time in my life I gave up on a book.  The first time was Joyce's Ulysses.  This time it's The Enigma Code.  Not all that interesting and I am virtually clueless about the technical matters as they are presented in the book.

Watching the English, by Kate Fox. I own the first edition of this book and just had to have the second when I spotted it at Waterstones today.

The Wars of the Roosevelts

Fascinating, but every time I start to read something happens and I can only manage a few pages.  Will definitely renew it if I don't finish it.

The Stories of John Cheever.. one story at the time..

When I bought the book online I thought 'The Swimmer' (title of a story of his) would be in the book but.. it's not.

Shame..

The Little House on the Prairie series with DD. A chapter a night.

The second book in the Outlander series for me on my own time.

A History of the German Language

Thankfully, it's in English.  It's the first book about a language I've found that isn't about English.
