I made a start on “Swan’s Way” by Marcel Proust, but I’m too manic to read well. Maybe if I used less caffeine …

I can no longer read unless high con caffeine. Great choice by the way! Right now, though, I can only manage short stories.

I still have my old Roman law books somewhere. Borges is great, but I’m embarrassed to admit that I prefer Bioy Casares.

I’m reading the second Lord of the Rings book, Two Towers. And I’m also reading Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell, plus The Case Against the Fed by Murray Rothbard. One is Chicago school of economics, and the other is part of the Austrian school.

At the moment reading two books.

Those Faraday Girls by Monica McInerney (a lovely family saga)

and

The Happy Human Brain by Pierre van de Spuy (a psychology book)

Want to go to bookshop again as they are the last books on my reading list. Thinking of picking up Irving Stone’s biographical novel of the artist Pissarro again as I only read it halfway so far.

I was reading Images: My Life in Film by Ingmar Bergman but I’m taking a break from it.

It’s a great read though.

I might start Making Movies by Sidney Lumet later tonight.
