I'm slowly working my way through All The President's Men by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. Not my usual type of book at all - my brother has been charged with giving me books as part of Christmas and birthday presents to edumacate me as I tend to stick to fantasy quite a lot which probably isn't very good for me :P

I'm enjoying the book and it's certainly very interesting (I must admit I knew nothing about the whole Watergate scandal before I started reading :P) but it's really quite tiring! It's like it's one long article with all the associated excitement and drama and suspenders and it all gets a bit much after a while. There's also so much information and so many names to remember that keep falling out of my head - which is strange as I usually have no problem with ridonkulous names in fantasy books :P I've been having a few breaks reading other books at the same time...books I'm used to that have periods of calm mixed in with the rest. That probably doesn't help with the whole remembering what's going on and who said what etc.

I don't know what to read next - I just read The Name of The Wind in two days :D and want mooooore. Om nom nom.
