All the time, but it's sorta occupational hazard.

Here's a cross section of what hardcopies I've bought in the last month:

_Cambridge World History of Human Disease_
_Epidemiology in Medicine_
_Discovering the Universe_
_US Nuclear Weapons in Canada_
_Crusader Castles_
_New Penguin History of Scotland_
_Nouvelle grammaire communicative_ (French textbook)
_Oxford History of Byzantium_
_Oxford History of the Classical World_
_Oxford History of the Biblical World_
_Hundred Years War: A Military History_
_Strategic Intelligence for American National Security_
_Planetary Astronomer's Companion_
_Kosovo_
_Confronting the Costs of War_


More than that, but it's a good cross-section of the subject material (used books thru ebay, book sales on campus&#33

...Only too bad my e-book collection for sharing wasn't this large!

Cheers,

I used to, about anything from Nuclear Submarines to parenting, however as my chosen profession has required vast reading of boring acronym filled text books I have tapered off on the real stuff and focused on sci-fi and or fantasy for the most part. It is very nice to sort of leave this planet or least this time frame now and again.

SD you may have posted before, however please forgive me for asking and feel free to decline to answer if my question is impertinant.

What is your chosen profession.

Most serious books i've read are on finance - some interesting, some not

Because of my job & exams that i&#39;ve revised/going to revise for. No choice i&#39;m afraid Pass three and I get some (meaningless) letters after my name though, so its not for nothing.

Would you be willing to elucidate.

I for one am interested.

My money is on an Accountancy or Economics thing.

Its more to do with Unit Trusts/Oeics/Peps/Isa&#39;s etc. See HERE.

Multi choice questions, but beleive me when I say they are hard. I&#39;ve taken the first one twice & still failed, hence the need to read some finance books.
