How many books in your library have you not read?

Can you tell us more about your brush with cancer? (But it’s cool if you don’t)

“Likewise, dictatorships that do not appear volatile, like, say, Syria or Saudi Arabia, face a larger risk of chaos than, say, Italy, as the latter has been in a state of continual political turmoil since the second war.”

Are more that I've missed?
