I was given a book token back in early May and it has taken me all this time to decide what to buy. I'm sure most of you have a comprehensive wish list, and would never find yourself in this kind of quandary, but my book choices generally come from the library and I just randomly select books without really knowing what to expect before I start reading. Anything I don't like just gets hauled back the following week. Luckily, I happened to listen to a podcast where Jordan Peterson spoke to Matthew McConaughey about his memoir, and it seemed full of tales that Texans would like to hear in a bar after enjoying the hospitality for a while, so that was my first choice. The second was Rory Stewart's account of his long walk through Afghanistan. I've lready read his book Politics on the Edge, and discovered i had underestimated Rory in every way. Let's see how this one goes! I'll let you know how they pan out.
