Thread: What are You Reading?

I am currently re-reading The Complete Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt 1725-1798.
It runs 6 volumes...and this is the abridged version.
Absolutely fantastic read...and not just from the sexual aspect (if half of what he writes about is true he's a real stud). It is probably the finest 'travelogue' of its kind. From Venice, to Rome, to Constantinople, to Spain and all points in between this is a guy who LIVED, and lived well. From cleric, to soldier, to spy, to gambler, to prisoner and escapee et al, this guy is amazing.
The customs and mores of the period are fascinating and the language is phenomenal. And yes, there is a reason why he enjoys the reputation today of 'ladies man' and/or seducer; he would say not a libertine, but a man with a weakness and love of the fairer sex.
Highly recommended is this FREE book(s) online from Gutenberg Project
And hey, he shaved (or was shaved) with a Straight Razor!!
Bonus!

From Scratch,an interesting read about the cable food networks,lots of politics,lots of money.
