Last book: Perfume: The story of a murderer by Patrick Süskind. I ravaged through it quite fast and enjoyed the descriptive writing style immensely. It's supposedly a book with many intresting layers, but I loved as a novel about world of smell.

Currently: Though I tend to read several at the time depending on my mood, my main book is Breaking together: A freedom-loving response to collapse by Jem Bendell. I work with environmental stuff and I feel like we are past the point where ecological modernisation is a answer to all of our woes. It is well-written book and you can download it for free.

If I understood correctly, it is the drought in Spain, which is causing the flamingos to seek new feeding grounds. I feel like this is yet another problem caused by climate change, that we did not expect (though we knew animals will migrate). Maybe it is not all caused by CC, but definitely it had something to do with it.

James Joyce - Ulysses. I have let it rot away in the back of my mind, because of the "prerequisite" to read the whole western canon up to the point when it was first published. While this no exactly true, I can't help thinking this way.

Someday.
