What are you reading and book reviews

Finished The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins yesterday (and just noticed that I forgot to even say I was reading it) which was very interesting, not least for spotting the obvious foreshadowing of his anti-religion tirades. It's both well explained and surprisingly humourous so he conveys quite complex concepts easily enough to be understood or at least I felt like I understood them.

What do you care what people think? was just as entertaining as I'd hoped as well, Richard Feynmann was truly a fascinating man.

I'm now reading Hotel Pastis by Peter Mayle (he also wrote A Year In Provence and it has started off quite well so far plus it's a nice change of pace and depth from the previous two factual books.
