The Map that Changed the World, by Simon Winchester
This is a book about William Smith and the beginning of geology. Not as fascinating as his book on the OED, but then I'm more of a word person! It's still interesting.
I'm in transitional clothes still. Sometimes a ja…

In the middle of Code Name Verity, by Elizabeth Wein
It is very good so far! A World War II story.
This is a YA book set in the sixties focusing on the red scare. So far it's quite good.

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, by Jack Weatherspoon

Now on to Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, by Jack Weatherford
Just starting it so no opinion yet!
If you don't know who Richard Ayoade is, you should look him up. I know him best for his role on The IT Crowd, but he also has TV shows Gadget Man and Travel Man, and is a panelist on several British game shows. I love h…

Still reading An Immense World, by Ed Yong
Fascinating look at animal senses.
Listening to The Body, by Bill Bryson. Another good one.

Am beginning to listen …
