More books I should read...

Was on my way to get lunch today when A Gambling Man: Charles II's Restoration Game, by Jenny Uglow, caught my eye - and not just because of the author's name!  Honestly, it was mostly that the title amused me, and I am sure if the book had had a different title or cover I might not have even stopped to look at it (the Restoration has never been a hugely favorite period of mine), but I did stop, and I think I will need to add it to my list of books to read...  Definitely a library book, though; it's been out since November of 2009, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be in the Harvard libraries somewhere, and it's definitely far enough from my fields that it's not worth paying for.  I still have my eye on that pre-Revolutionary Boston book by Richard Archer, though!  And that could be worth buying...but probably not only a month out, though - I should at least wait until I can get it cheaper, if not for it to be in paperback.  But library would be best; it's still not in Hollis, but hopefully soon, or I will request it - if I don't give in and buy it first!
