Books
I'm currently reading one of those on Barack Obama's list - the excellent (and optimistic) Factfulness others read include Jonathan Coe's 'Middle England' and found it offered some humour and insight on what for many is the issue of the day (perhaps the decade?).

| Waterstones |
Christmas (and the sales) have supplied me with new reading material including Art book, 1001 Paintings by Stephen Farthing and a book (with commentary) on Pliny The Youngers' letters - don't expect it'll be an easy reader but not all good things are.
Music/CD/Film
Not been a year in which I've bought much music but did get McCartney's latest - Egypt Station (which is to my mind workmanlike but not as good as New - I do like the cover though!) and we did go and see The Human League (yet again) also a rare visit to the Cinema was to see The Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody (which to me was 'too' Hollywood to the point of parody).
Philosophy and Religion (2)
On to the next topic which is labelled 'Supernatural Beings' which reflects on how Monotheistic religions (like Islam and Judaism) have accommodated earlier multi-God faiths by the (near) worship of Angels and Saints.
