[The Warlord]

Read Shuggie Bain, what won the Booker.

Good book. Not worthy of the Booker though.

I'm not reading it yet but I can't wait to read The Dawn of Everything by David Wengrow and David Graeber (who died about a year ago, RIP.)

All The Light We Cannot See

Anthony Doerr won Pulitzer Prize for fiction 2014

Easy read, I guess the prize was for the effort more than anything else.

Moved stuff out of my storage unit, and grabbed this out at random. Published after the 1995 season. No doubt intended as a light read focusing on footy's failures, but most of the anecdotes had been done to death even in 1995, and there are so many spelling/editing errors that the book should induct itself.

The Things They Carried

Had it on the shelf for ages and I've heard incredible things, so I thought I should finally get around to it.

I have already read Herodotus. A fascinating and truly exceptional people the Persians.

I know you know this, and it's not what you meant, but Herodotus made everything sound fascinating and exceptional, what with all those flying snakes and gold-digging ants the size of dogs!
I like Thucydides' little swipe, where he says WTTE of "my history might be boring at times, but that's because everything in it is true".
