Nice! Been meaning to borrow a Le Carre book from my library for a while. Drowning myself in non-fiction.

Picked up “The Honourable Schoolboy”. 140 pages in since Wednesday.

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. I've already read another one of her books, A Place of Greater Safety, and since it was so amazing I decided to pick up this one.

FInished: Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963

Current:

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle


Just finished The Honourable Schoolboy. Very interesting setting and enjoyable characters, but with an ending nowhere near as satisfying as TTSS.

The title in English would be "High-rise America" - it's a Polish then-journalist' (the author became later a politician) diary from a brief visit to US in 1960s. Good read to me, lots of facts and things I haven't known, such as when the author visited San Francisco, and talked to some peoples who had liberal/left-wing views, but haven't voted for Kennedy in 1960, because they thought JFK would start a war with USSR or something, and due to his confidence and large support from intellectuals, academics, trade unions or middle-class, large parts of Americans trusted him. These SF peoples voted for Nixon, but he hadn't been supported as much from these groups as Kennedy was, so they thought if Nixon will be elected, he will be more cautious about US politics abroad.

In the meantime I read also this, but not English edition:

I got “Armageddon Averted” by Stephen Kotkin and “Great Games, Local Rules” by Alexander Cooley in the mail the past few days. Almost done with an early edition of “The Resurgence of Central Asia: Islam or Nationalism?” by Ahmed Rashid. I also ordered a compilation of Mike Allred’s “Madman” comic.

On a bit of a presidential history tear right now. I just finished Ted White’s Making of the President 1960 and 1964 and now I’m reading Jules Witcover’s Marathon

“Perelandra” by C.S. Lewis. Old paperback edition my dad used to own; includes some barely legible notes written on the margins. Decided to give it a try after hearing it twice-references within a few days on various media. Over halfway through “Great Games, Local Rules”. Recently started reading a compilation book on Tajikistan published in 1997. Some interesting chapters.

Finished “Madman”, “Armageddon Averted”, and “The Resurgence of Central Asia”.

Probably ordering another book on the Caucasus and maybe some more comics soon. Maybe a Skocpol or stilly book.

Started reading “The Bourne Ultimatum” last night because I was tired of non-fiction and I own incredibly little fiction these days (that being one example). Finished Perelandra pretty easily earlier in the week.

I began and finished The Sound of Waves by Yukio Mishima last night. It's a very charming and enjoyable novella.
