"Piranesi" by Susannah Clarke

How to Talk about Books You Haven't Read by Pierre Bayard
"The truly cultivated person is not the one who has read a book but the one who understands the book's place in our culture. Using examples from authors and movies, Bayard examines the many kinds of "non-reading" and urges us to consider what reading means and how we absorb books as a part of ourselves."
@fmf saidI have enjoyed that one, it is a gem.

Had a little listen to Omid Scobie's "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival". He's clearly a propagandist trying to shore up a couple of the most tawdry of the peripheral royals. I was curious but not enough to get all the way through it.
