Hi Sir I hope you’re well, I was hoping that you might be able to help me, well basically the type of people I am in acquaintance with are people from private/ public schools who are studying history, English literature, philosophy, politics etc and I'm finding it really hard to keep up and participate in any interesting conversation on an intellectual level. Therefore I want to read to books, journals etc to increase my knowledge, and the only person I thought would be able to recommend a good book list to me would be you!!!!!!! I'd really appreciate it if you could spare me a couple of minutes and help me not feel like a silly billy. Thank you VERY VERY much
