Reading for different countries

There was a great article in the weekend FT magazine recommending different books based on countries. I’m heading off to Switzerland for my holiday so according to the FT the book that should be in my luggage is Imposture by Ben Markovits. Ironically it is by an American author and the subject is Byron’s doctor but there must be enough of a Swiss connection to link it in with the country.

On the lunchtime read front it has been a disaster these past couple of days and so the hope (and it is probably vain) is that I can get back on track tomorrow and finish The Big Sleep this week.

I’m attending a business dinner tonight but there will be a Life A User’s Manual post it just might not quite make the midnight cut-off…
