THE PILE GROWS DEEPERNo, I'm not talking about
Zenpundit but of the pile of " to be read" books which has grown from a bedside table to a shelf. Just picked up
Warriors of the Prophet,
Colossus and
Rise of the Vulcans yesterday. I'm a great admirer of
Niall Ferguson, one of the few historians capable of rendering economic history as an enjoyable story, even if I disagree with him that American primacy constitutes an " empire".
By the way, bloggers could do worse than to have a recommended reading list like
Marc Shulman's.
