Currently reading: The Italian Renaissance. I would not recommend it. This is a collection of short stories/histories on the city-states and personalities of the time. No real narrative and it is difficult to connect the events, people and states through the each chapter. (reply)
Currently reading: Traffic by Tom Venderbilt. It is an interesting and fast paced sociology book on the issues of traffic and why commuters, planners and engineers make the decisions we do. It is a fun light read with a few interesting moments. (reply)
