In the meantime I'm sailing through the Putin book. It's very interesting and surprisingly easy to follow despite the huge array of names I would have had no familiarity with previously.
I started Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain the other night as well. I'm taken aback by how well written it is. 10% of the way in and it seems like it's going to be an enjoyable read.
I'm really trying to read a broad scope of things at the moment as probably comes across. Anyone with any suggestions for books that are a good layman's jumping off point into interesting topics I would be interested to hear them, along the lines of AI Superpowers mentioned by Hitch earlier. I've also added The Codebreakers to my list as it is meant to be an accessible intro to cryptology and its history.
