I've always wanted to read the Manifesto in public just to see the reactions.

I've been reading the Aubrey-Maturin series. Excellent historical fiction. Master & Commander, the Russel Crow movie, was based off it. Got the full Sherlock Holmes collection, too. And before that I read the Worst Hard Time. A book focusing on the people who lived through the Dust Bowl.
