Reading Lawrence of Arabia by Scott Anderson - So far I have got a vivid picture of the events leading up to World War I and how opportunistic the Standard Oil Company were. This is a long book. So, I plan to interleave my reading with either "The Map Thief" by Michael Blanding or "Diary of a nobody" by George Grossmith.
