A wonderful work combining fictional characters and stories with real historical people and events. Unfortunately, the last quarter wasn’t so good but that’s probably because I still have memories from the later days of the cold war and it all seemed too familiar.

Keep Australia On Your Left: A True Story of An Attempt To Circumnavigate Australia By Kayak

by Eric Stiller

interesting given my planned trip although I’m not kayaking. The author’s style somewhat detracts from the story but then he’s not a professional author.

The Future of Ideas: The Fate of the Commons in a Connected World

by Lawrence Lessig

A wonderful book on the future of intellectual property. Carefully considered and stated arguments in an obvious lawyer trait doesn’t detract from the book
