Finished the "Outlines" trilogy by Rachel Cusk this summer. One of the most intriguing reads I have ever had so far. :)

Finished this:

And I am about halfway through this:

I think the Wilson biography is much better, but there are not many books about Coolidge out there. Both are interesting reading for me.

Finished the Coolidge bio, and started on this one, another president I know very little about):

Next up is this (a little out of order, I know; this one is part two of a three-part series, I read the first book a little while ago)

I missed all of that being in France. Isn't there still gigabytes of data left uninvestigated?

^ citizenfour? yeah could do with a rewatch. I see that book is causing a bit a of a furore - with the US Govt. still upset he's talking about classified info. I suppose even though it is mostly public domain they are still classed as classified.

In between books on Greek philosophers, I need something different to ease the mind.
