Books

This is a list of books that I am either currently reading, have recently read, or have picked up with a view to reading in the near future.

Currently reading

These books are currently the ones sitting in my day-to-day possession (usually within a Blackwell’s plastic carrier bag within my knapsack). The one exception to this is The Road to Reality because it’s so bloody big, so that stays on the bookshelf.

Recently read

These are the books that I’ve recently completed reading. I may review a book, and if I do you will see a link to said review next to the title.

On the shelf

These are the books that I’ve yet to read, although I may have read them previously — I tend to read books twice within a year, if I can.

Recently acquired

These are books that I’ve recently bought or been given, and have yet to find space on the book shelves for them.

New books! :-)

Books to buy

These are some books that I’m looking to buy in the near future, usually from some kind of recommendation.

If you’d like to support me in my reading, please feel free to visit my Amazon (UK) wishlist and gift me a book. :-)

If you would like me to review a book, please consult my book review policy.
