I'm taking Laura Cumming's masterpiece A Face to the World. Too heavy for the beach, but just perfect poolside or on a terrace in Tuscany or somewhere in la France profonde. Art writing as it ought to be.

I'm currently reading Alistair Horne's biography of Macmillan.

Mr Macmillan did a lot more with his first four decades, than I've managed thus far. :-)

Hysteria - what's wrong with 'Atlas Shrugged'?
OK, if you don't fancy it, take Ayn Rand's other masterpiece, 'The Fountainhead'.
Also -
Boethius: 'The Consolations of Philosophy'.
Keller: 'Die Leute von Seldwyla'
Stendhal: 'La Chartreuse de Parme'.
Ruskin: 'The Stones of Venice'.
PS The official Speccie blog-list is hopeless.
