Just finished Black Holes and Baby Universes by Stephen Hawking. A collection of physics essays he wrote over the period 1976 to 1992, The book concludes with the transcript of a Desert Island Discs radio program on which he appeared. This is a peculiarly British institution in which the guest is asked to imagine himself or herself cast away on a desert island and is invited to choose eight records with which to while away the time until rescued. As always, very interesting.
Next up, The Complete Yes Minister by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay. The transcipt of famouse BBC TV serial Yes Minister, one of my most favourite shows.
