I just CAN'T stick to one book at a time - there are just SO many things I want to read.
Currently reading:
- Oakeshott The Voice of Liberal Learning
- Rousseau Emile
- Sire Habits of the Mind
- Arnold Culture and Anarchy
- Woodhouse Very Good, Jeeves!
As you can see, there's a flurry of philosophy of education reading just at the moment, which I'm finding really interesting, although quite challenging to get to grips with. They are really forcing me to try and decide what I think about education.
There's also a new Allingham back in print from Vintage (what a marvellous service they are doing for society) which I want to buy and read, but I think I'll leave for my Christmas list since I really don't have time to read it at present! [I saw it in Borders, Oxford Street]
Last week I applied for my Waterstones Advantage Card. When ticking the boxes for "How many books do you buy each year?" M expressed surprise that I ticked the "20+" box. But then I don't drink or smoke - there are worse ways of spending your money!
PS viva was 3 1/4 hours! Passed with minor corrections.
