Read earlier today; Arundhati Roy-The Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire (Brief, but very good.) Now reading; Eric Hobsbawm-Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century 1914-1991 (Seems up there with Mazower's 'Dark Continent' for best general 20th century history text.)

Arundhati Roy-The Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire Various-Three Centuries of Italian Art.

Anton Chekhov-Three Sisters
