Think I might write my life story. Since my interest in politicians ended with Oliver Cromwell it might go down okay.

oooh tango you do invite age-related quips!!! (but I am strong and can resist!)

an interest in politicians is not the same as an interest in politics, though...

Absolutely. For a bloke that used to play for Leeds he didn't half hold some strong right wing views

Currently reading D-Day by Antony Beevor.

History book rather than a novel. Not read a history book since school, so a bit of a diversion. Brings out the characters pretty well along with people's diary entries and the like. Reasonable read so far.

Not read that one. If you fancy any of his others after that one I'd defo recommend both Stalingrad & Berlin

I'm reading Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon - the longest resident of the shelf of shame, now transferred to new office in new house. This was loaned to me by a friend from California in a visit to England in 1997... It's really good... at least up to p83... my friend is pleased I'm reading it... At last...

1997? That's the year that the Princess of Wales was killed. THAT long. Remind me never to lend you anything, ever. (not that I've much that you'd want to borrow anyway).
