Amazon books bought and in wishlists

March 30, 2019 — Bryan O'Loughlin

Just back from walking up 1,000m and near the top I decided now would be a good time to share books that I had bought on Amazon Kindle and Audible, and others in my wishlists. I am just getting started now. There a very few fiction books in this list out of necessity (none in English I guess?). I emphasise that “bought” does not mean “read”. See separate Audible-list post.

(31st December – The Globalist: Peter Sutherland – His Life and Legacy. I read this in two days)
