These days I'm reading a couple books.
Finishing up Long Way Round.
It's about a 20,000 mile motorcycle ride (London to Magadan, then Alaska to NY) by Ewan MacGregor and Charlie Boorman. (Quite gripping, yet the griping makes me wonder how many British are wimps.)
Reading passages in Can't Stop, Wont' Stop. Jeff Chang's history of hip hop. It doesn't cover everything, but what it does cover is fascinating, because he tries to contextualize as much as possible. (Lotta research and interviews... Writing style is too terse, at times.)
Been reading 42 Up (no website), the slim book based on the movie. Quite profound. Makes you wonder what life is all about, and how your life compares.
Will there be a sequel, "49 Up"?
