Book pile update 34

Finished since the last update:

Zero-G by Alton Ganksy- actually quite a good novel on space tourism, technically quite accurate and with presents the subject in a positive light. Just a shame about the occasional bits of religious philosophising and character bursting into prayer all the time), and the villain's motive wasn't very clear

The Pillars of Rome by Jack Ludlow- OK historical novel, but first in a sequence that I'll have to track down now)

Beyond the Corporation by David Erdal-interesting but the author's left-wing biases annoyed me, should have read his bio- apparently he was a communist organiser and worked in Mao's China! Seems to have recovered a bit, but hostility toward Bankers, the Invisible hand and stock markets got a bit annoying. Might do a full review of at some point (ha!- ed)

Hayek's The Constitution of Liberty by Eugene Miller- Not a condensed version as had thought but a summary similar to the PJ O'Rouke's one on the Wealth of Nations) A good summary of the key points.

Only bought one new book as well, Sex, Science and Profits by Terence Kealey (as was only 99p in the cheap book shop)
