What I'm Reading/In the Book Review
Having finished Rites of Peace, I’ve lurched back into fiction, and am well into both Sacred Games, by Vikram Seth, and Chang & Eng, by Darin Strauss. But I’m still working on David Gilmour’s informative but entertaining look at the Raj, The Ruling Caste. Every now and then, I look into Aline S Taylor’s Isabel of Burgundy: The Duchess Who Played Politics in the Age of Joan of Arc 1397-1471. I can’t help comparing it with Helen Maurer’s Margaret of Anjou, a completely different kind of history book.
Stalled Books: The Raw Shark Texts; There Goes My Everything; The Label.
I did read, practically in one sitting, Clotaire Rapaille’s The Culture Code: An Ingenious Way to Understand Why People Around the World Live and Buy As They Do.
