What Lib Dem MPs are reading this summer
by Stephen Tall on August 18, 2010
The annual Waterstone’s ComRes survey of MPs’ summer reading choices has just been published. You can read about the overall responses here, but I had a quick scan of the findings of the 12 Lib Dem MPs who replied to see what our party folk are planning to dip into during the parliamentary recess…
- The Idea of Justice – Amartya Sen = 14%
- Harry Potter = 14%
- Darren Shaw [do they mean ‘Darren Shan‘?] = 14%
- Solar – Ian McEwan = 12%
- The Third Man – Peter Mandelson = 7%
- The Wealth of Nations – Adam Smith = 7%
- De Gaulle – The Last Great Frenchman = 7%
- Philip II of Spain biography = 7%
- History of the Dominican Republic = 7%
- Alastair Campbell Diaries = 6%
- Collected Poems – R.S. Thomas = 5%
- Shirley Williams biography = 5%
- Paddy Ashdown biography = 5%
PS: I’ve no idea how the weighted percentages were calculated… so far as I can make out, any figure between 5-7% means one Lib Dem MP chose it; 12-14% means that two did.
