                off-topic: daily show's senior new correspondent today was shockingly unfunny. Give us some more Larry Wilmore damnit!

                        After having finished Vergilius' Aeneis, I picked up another Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man this time. I'm getting the hang of it

                          Reading "Persian Fire" by Tom Holland, who also wrote "Rubicon". It is about, of course, the rise and fall of the Persian Empire and the battle between East and West.

                            Bildstorm by Torsten Ekbom (in Swedish). It's sort of a sweeping survey of modernism. Pretty interesting stuff.

                            I intend to start reading Red to Black by Alex Dryden tonight, which I believe to be a political thriller set in Putin's Russia.

                              I liked that, if it is the one I am remembering, not sure if I read all of it though.
