I just finished Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It's an autobiographical piece from the Author of Little Prince about his days flying between the wars.

I'm just about to move onto Femina by Janina Remirez. Which is a history of the world told through the eyes of the deliberately women left out of it. I'm looking forward to it, it sounds excellent. Filling a much needed gap in the popular understanding of women's role in history.

I loved "Wind, Sand, and Stars", It somehow made me cherish the "Little Prince" more.
