What are you reading?

The Looking Glass War - John Le Carré

Glad I got here via reading his early stuff first. In particular the 2010 Afterword in A Murder of Quality.

I wnet through a heap of books inherited by my grandparents and have to say I did throw away most of them…
But the one or other gem is there, like
Storm's Pole Poppenspäler
(probably a book my grandfather read in his youth (before WW1)) Since is it so old you can read it for free:

Spurious Games by David Jenkins
a mystery novel with a lot of chess clues
so far so good

I would tell you to read it but I don't think you read a lot

a book that I keep on my coffee table is The Puzzle Universe a history of mathematics in 315 puzzles
good exercise for the brain

So another way of saying you have a bunch of unread books so you say! 😉

exactly
I buy a lot of books I will never read
it's a compulsion of mine
being surrounded by books is comforting
but I do manage to read a few of them
