This summer I have put down the following books to read, as well as a number of podcasts to listen to. I have expanded by original reading list as I have found that I also need to listen to audio content on quiet days to make the auditory shock of leaving the office less pronounced.
As part of my intention to spend less time on social media, I have loaded my Kindle with many of the books ahead of my summer holiday. In addition, the Pagnol book will accompany me as a paperback – to read in a café over breakfast in Cannes, once I have finished reading the current edition of Le Monde Diplomatique. The Lee Onhwa book is one that I will be reading to solve a geocache in Vienna.
