1491- An interesting yet speculative analysis of the Americas before Columbus. Our perceptions of the Americas as devoid of large populations and urban areas and containing natives that had little impact on their environment is challenged by the book.
Pride and Prejudice- After forgetting 1491 on my journey to my parents house, I picked this book up at the bequest of my sister. I find that after reading such Victorian literature that my language is more ...flowery.
Just ordered: Race Car Aerodynamics- we shall see if it is any good. Although I know it will just compound my problem of reading multiple books- none of which I have finished.
