^ oh damn, my girl has read all those books about the Wars of the Roses. such a complex historical subject that it seems to never get exhausted, or at least she doesnt get tired of it. she tried to explain the whole story to me multiple times and i'm still confused (and not as interested as she is :)

Yeah, it is very complicated. The overarching story seems to be kings fighting over who should be king (and of what country), and also dukes and such who plotted to become kings.

Thanks to a newspaper I discovered this and promptly ordered my copy. It is a new edition of the only Italian book about Massimo Urbani (check Jazz topic if you don't know how much I love his music).

Also something light, maybe because it is a thin book.

I'm currently reading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. I'm about a third of the way in and enjoying it very much.

MUMBO JUMBO is a real treasure. Almost done with it and it is already up there with my favorite books.
Only read a few pages of FREE JAZZ, too soon to say something.
