An Illustrated Biography of me, How to Cut Your Bills in Half, 100 Malicious Murder Mysteries, Deathly Hallows, Book of the Dead, several cooking magazines, Healing ADHD - off the top of my head.  I always have a book nearby.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

Good to know! It's on my booklist.

Currently reading Elizabeth & Leicester by Sarah Gristwood. Yet another biography about the Tudors.  :thumbup:

Have you read any books by Antonia Fraser? If not, then I highly recommend her :)

No I haven't. Adding her to the list :)

Tried starting Paradise last night by Toni Morrison (it's about reverse segregation) but it was too intense. Might shelf that one for awhile.

"Star Wars Allegiance" by Timothy Zahn
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

I started The Last Wife of Henry VIII.  I always felt sorry for Catherine Parr, but at least she survived Henry, although she died way too young.

Finishing the last two books of St Augustine's The Confessions, even despite I am reading the abridged version it is a lot of wank to be honest.
We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
