My best read this past year was The Narrow Road to the Deep North, the 2014 Booker Prize winner by Richard Flanagan. This tells you how far I have fallen behind on my reading and since I logged on to TM! It's a harrowing account of the the Burma railway inspired by the authors father but also wonderful writing about war, fathers, wives and mistresses. Richards father died just as the book was completed.
I've also read - The World Beyond Your Head by Matthew B. Crawford. He's the tradesman's philosopher.
