It's true that Tajel is a social sciences student, but it's just the same in physical science.

Currently reading

I've decided to scrap the currently reading pane on the RHS of this blog because it's fiddly and difficult to update - rather a challenge if you get through a fair few books and need to edit it frequently. Instead, I think I'll do a (semi)-regular posting.

So, as of 28.vii.2009, I'm currently reading

  • Dumas - The Count of Monte Cristo
  • Sayers - Busman's Honeymoon
  • Ball - The Self-Made Tapestry
  • Rosen - Symmetry Discovered
I'm also progressing well with my year-long project to read all of Allingham's "Campion" novels - I've just finished The Fashion in Shrouds
