It has been very sparse in book land for a while now, having real trouble getting into anything at the moment. Just can't seem to find the time/energy.

Just finished 'War plc: The Rise of the Corporate Mercenary' by Stephen Armstrong- which was a book that I found in a hotel room I was staying in. Not a bad airport book, but I wouldn't go out of my way to read it. I was interested to find out that some people I work with know guys from the book...

Also been hacking through 'The State of Africa' by Martin Meredith. Fucking incredible book, but really heavy going. Basically a country by country history of post-colonial Africa. There is just so much information to take in that you really need to be in the right frame of mind to take it on. Probably why I've been making such slow progress.

Other than that I haven't really managed to make any decent headway into anything for month now for one reason or another. We ill see what March brings.

Ah, War plc, I've read that boris. Think I gave it to BLUDGER when I was done. I reckon you'd like Chris Hedges, if you come across him anywhere. He has a new book coming out in April which I'm looking forward to.

Sounds like you need some fiction! (?)

I finished reading this a while ago, and now am unable to stop referring to anything that's in a mess or in a state of disorder as 'an abortion. ie, 'my bedroom is an utter abortion at the moment'.

We should start a book exchange club.

Wouldn't that be lovely?

If by lovely you mean shit. And by shit you mean awesome.

Then yes, it would be lovely.

Dave Eggers has only really written 30 or 40 pages of good prose,* but this is not horrible.

Also:



Which was OK.

This guy is on the money. He's been ahead of the game for years, dropping basic economic theory.

Me too, mainly because i can listen while working, but also mainly because i'm a lazy cunt. started with outliers then raided more malcolm gladwell audios.



^^looks like a bullshit self empowering book but more about subconscious split second judgements
