It was interesting to see Niall Ferguson, whose book Colossus I reviewed this June without really knowing much about Ferguson, disgraced in August for fudging facts in a hatchet job on president Obama that he wrote for Newsweek. For all my ancient classics, sometimes I actually read something topical.
This month, I've moved to the much more though provoking and honest Paul Krugman's book End This Depression now!, along with a wonderful memoir by America's favorite Sarah Palin impersonator, the most recent Dresden Files book, and for fans of the ancient world, texts by Horace, Petronius, Seneca and Quintilian, along with Daniel Defoe, Arthur Ransome, and the Hogwarts Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women
Enjoy!
