What I’ve been reading (& listening to) in Jan 2014

For a variety of different reasons (none of which are particularly interesting or novel), I’ve decided to start reviewing some of the stuff I read and/or listen to (in the case of audiobooks & lecture series).

I thought I’d do one big review a month, and brief summaries for the other things worth recording – but me being verbose me, that didn’t work out so I’ve split them into their own posts.

• “American Wife” by Curtis Sittenfeld
• “Childhood’s End” by Arthur C Clark
• “Foundations of Western Civilization II: A History of the Modern Western World” by Robert Bucholz
• The Road by Cormac McCarthy

I’ve read/started reading a few other things too, and listening to most of two other lecture series, but hopefully I’ll finish those eventually & review them properly rather than listening them all here.
