Machiavelli, Spinoza, Saint-Exupery

Since my last post, I've read the complete works of Machiavelli, Spinoza and Saint-Exupery. And I've reached this conclusion -- that I've read a good deal, because I had already read two out of three of Machiavelli, leaving only Titus Livius, and three out of four of Saint-Exupery, leaving Vol de nuit. Spinoza I didn't enjoy -- he is the head of the rationalists, and I find that doesn't suit the theology he produces. But his life story is very inspiring.

I also read a stack of mags: an issue each of The New Scientist, The Economist, The Globe, and three issues of Eclectic Reading.

This is the diet of a voracious reader on vacation.
