I have three books on the go at the moment: Charles Leadbeater’s brilliant analysis of web-world, We-Think, The Craftsman, by the Spectator’s own in-house magus, Richard Sennett (another masterpiece), and Marcus Du Sautoy’s intriguing exploration of symmetry, Finding Moonshine. I have known Marcus since we are at All Souls together and as well as being the cleverest person I have ever met he also has an astonishing talent for making impossibly complex mathematical ideas accessible to the layman. All three warmly recommended.
I am longing to see the Russian exhibition at the Royal Academy and want to sneak in one last time to see The First Emperor at the British Museum – a landmark exhibition if ever there was one.
