Brain Food: Book Embargo Comes to a not so Dramatic End

I like books.

I like reading books.

I like the feel of books.

I like the smell of books.

I like the look of books.

I just like books.

And I have a small problem with buying books.

So after a 8 mos self imposed embargo on book acquisitions. . . As the unread book pile was overwhelming the bookshelf. . . I  have been freed to continue building on the collection. So what did I get? Two books which have been on my list for far too long:

Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris
 (Sedaris was on my list before it was even published)





 AND

Soccornomics by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski



An odd pairing perhaps, but who says you cant work the left and right sides of the brain at the same time. 

So what are you reading these days?
