...others to be swallowed; and some few to be chewed and digested."
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) British statesman and philosopher.
Books have always played a very important role in my life, and I'm sure it's the same for many (if not all) of the people here on the Undertow. Also, I've always considered a great pleasure sharing my favourite readings with friends and relatives. Truth must be said, I think books are among the best presents anyone could ever receive.
So... I was just wondering: what are you reading now, and what are the books that you would suggest to read?
I'm currently re-reading a novel by W.S. Maugham (Mrs. Craddock - A story of an unequal marriage), a collection of Japanese Tales and the last book by Akhil Reed Amar about the Constitution of the United Stated ("America's Constitution - A biography") which I definitely recommend to all those interested in legal history.
Thanks in advance to everyone who will share his/her thoughts.
