What's worth reading at the moment?

I had a (relatively) pleasant afternoon walking around Southampton's IKEA (no recession there- as busy as anything), pondering which bookcases to buy and purchasing the obligitory Swedish meatballs.

Purchases at the nearby Border's bookshop were as follows;

Austerity Britain by David Kynaston

Nixon and Kissinger; Partners in Power by Robert Dallek

The Storm;the World Economic Crisis & What It Means by Vince Cable

and the optimistically titled

The Rotton State of Britain by Eamon Butler

I am not sure that Dr Butler of the Adam Smith Institute will agree with doyen of the Liberal -Democrats, Mr Cable's anaysis but I expect they will be a good read. My only frustation is that with running my own business and being a portfolio holder at the Council, I never seem to get time to do any serious recretional reading any more!

Still, worse things happen at sea as they say!
