My Current Reading List

A long time between postings I'm afraid and I'm blaming it on moving house and coping with the gargantuan task of relocating three tons of records and books. Inevitably my reading time has suffered and the list of books to read lengthened considerably. I will catch up though. Promise. In the meantime here's a list of current and forthcoming recommendations (in no particular order) :
