Oh dear. If my list of Books I Should Have Read wasn’t long enough, here is the list of books people have suggested I read as well:-
-
Traders, Guns and Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives: Books: Satyajit Das (Steve Patrick)
-
China Shakes The World: The Rise of a Hungry Nation: Books: James Kynge (Steve Patrick)
-
Who Runs This Place?: The Anatomy of Britain in the 21st Century: Books: Anthony Sampson (Steve Patrick)
-
Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software: Books: Charles Petzold (Chris Hind)
-
Tricks of the Mind: Books: Derren Brown (Malcolm Dick)
-
The God Delusion: Books: Richard Dawkins (Steve Patrick)
-
Justinian's Flea: Plague, Empire, and the Birth of Europe: Books: William Rosen (newspaper review)
Another plea then: how do people read so much? My journey to work is short so I can just about read The Economist in a week. At work I do work. At home I attend to my family. I don't watch television or have a hobby or do anything that could be displaced in favour of reading.
How do you manage it?
Footnote: these lists are now on del.icio.us - Books I should have read and books to read. In the spirit of JP's NewTailBlog meme, perhaps other people could use the same tag for their lists and see what happens when we aggregate the lists.
