    Halfway through The Hobbit.

    It is a re-read (in English this time) as I read it in Dutch about 13 years ago. Good to finally read in English as it is very beautifully written.

    Great book. Have read it a few times myself over the years. Just finished a re read of Morgan Llwelyn's Bard a great read about the original migration of the Celtic Gaels to Ireland.

    On Palestine (Noam Chomsky, Ilan Papé) arrived this morning.

    Just finished reading On Anarchism and rereading Hopes and Prospects. I highly recommend them, the latter in particular - sublime.
