Why not literature? :(
Journalism, actually. I figure I tell people my opinions enough, I might as well get paid for it.

Warplanes of World War 1, Knights of the Air, and The Giant Airships. All the literary analysis we have crammed down our throats in school (plus summer reading) makes me a lot less interested in actual novels than I used to be. So instead I read about the history of aircraft.

Recently finished J. London's "The Sea Wolf". Simply the awesomeness. Now reading some of his short stories and then gonna read The White Fang.
I, who barely and slowly reads, have gotten very fond with his stories.

In my history of postwar Europe (it's a thick book), I've made it up to Maggie Thatcher the Milk Snatcher. Really can't over-state how entertaining and enlightening this book is.

Reading Plato right now - Socrates' last day. What a great man.

Just finished Hemingway's To Have and Have Not and it seems even the greats can write a bad book. :( Unfocused, a bit dull and with some pointless shifts of perspective, it felt like several stories smashed together which it turns out is exactly what it was. I feel that Howard Hawks, who directed the actually rather good film adaptation, was right on the money when he said it was a "bunch of junk".
