I'm kicking myself for posting so much to this; whatever my motivations are for starting a blog, they are almost certainly undermined by the sheer volume of text.

I'm at a loss, sir. I don't read much.
Most recently, I've read Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being and am almost done with Pinker's The Blank Slate.

They were/are both good.

If you can't find anything else, you can always find an interesting article in The Economist.

How about that. I always see The Economist on newsstands (Everywhere!), cheap, weekly. At your behest, I shall pick it up.
Have you anything else to recommend? A topic perhaps?

Hmmmm...a topic...

A topic? Let me think...

Mollusks. They've always seemed pretty fascinating to me. Why don't you try looking them up? I'd be interested to know what you find.
