What book are you reading?

[CountArach]

Give Me Combat, which are the memoirs of Republican Spain's foreign minister during the war. Quite interesting, though I'm only up to what he was like in University.

[Ser Clegane]

Louis Fischer's Gandhi biography (almost finished) - quite an interesting read.

Update: About 130 pages into it now... and I'm growing quite sick of the author's fawning over Russian revolutionary literature. Still, he gives a very interesting behind-the-scenes account of what was occurring in the League of Nations in 1935.

Finished it now... well, sort of. I skipped the last few chapters on China because:
1) They weren't relevant to my essay.
2) He was blind to human rights abuses, etc and was again completely fawning. This was just irritating so I stopped.

About to move on to one of Paul Preston's books on the Spanish Civil War.

[Furunculus]

Andrew Lamberts book on the admirals that shaped the royal navy, and thus made great britain:

very good so far, would thoroughly recommend it.

[Hooahguy]

just started Clear and Present Danger.

[Rhyfelwyr]

"The Expedition of Humphrey Clinker" by Tobias Smollet, born just down the road from me.

[Centurion1]

ciceros oration against catiline. Read it before but this is in latin. Part project, part fun.



Edit: had another book on my mind, oops
