Listening to the audiobook of Julian Jackson's "A Certain Idea of France"

Julian Jackson's brilliant biography of Charles De Gaulle. Absolutely fascinating!

That is sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. It is a bit daunting at 890 pages.

Just finished 'The First Enigma Codebreaker' about Marian Rejewski, the Polish mathematician who first broke the Nazi Enigma code back in the 1930s and laid the foundations for Alan Turing's work. A good read and you do not need to be a mathematician to read it.

I'm hoping for some book tokens to be in my Christmas stocking (so to speak). To help fund the following:

I've nearly finished the 3rd book in the Three Body series - still brilliant. Then it will be The Redemption of Time by Baoshu. I'm so impressed by Cixin Liu I've just bought The Wandering Earth, The Supernova Era and Ball Lightening.

For Christmas Mrs S bought me 1923: The Mystery of Lot 212 and a Tour de France Obsession by Ned Boulting. Who'da thunk it.

Personally I've recently bought


The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England
by Marc Morris

Viking Britain: A History
by Thomas Williams
Britain AD A Quest for Arthur, England and the Anglo-Saxons by Francis Pryor

Says something about where my head is at.
