Vacation Reading

Since my last post, I've read an issue of The New Yorker, an issue of The New Scientist, an issue of The Economist, and three issues of Eclectic Reading. Since I'm nominally on vacation, I've read only for pleasure some historical biographies, one of Philip II and one of Alexander I which turned out to contain a conspiracy theory -- he's actually lived out his life as an ascetic beyond the Urals, instead of dying in his bed before the assembled court...I laughed out loud.
