Sunday's acquisitions:
Ronnie's book is easy to read, seems a tad shallow at times however on the other hand one needs to appreciate his frankness and straight to the point words on various issues or actions he was faced with or respectively took.
I have been quite away from snooker now, so this was a good chance for me to catch up with few happenings in the sport during the last 10-12 years or so. Few chapters already down, should be able to finish this one soon.
Paramhansa Yogananda's two small books are very helpful and practical actually. They got me really surprised. The first one, on death and reincarnation, is almost finished and from the other one I've done a few pages tonight.
The Encyclopedia of American Political History is quite nice and fun to read, done a few small parts - large volume of material to cover, though.
The "Living with the Tibetan Masters" offers brief insights as well, with quite short chapters. Couple of odd chapters as well on masters like Sri Ramana Maharsi and Tagore enrich the experience even further.
The third volume of Manchester's Churchill biography should be a pleasure to read; I am an avid WSC admirer and a fan of his writings, especially his early ones as a war correspondent.
Looking to get into reading biographies of distinguished fellows from across the pond, I decided to pick this T. Jefferson biography. We'll have to see how it will turn out during reading.
The History by J.M. Roberts is a classic, and the hardback version should not be missing from my library, while 'On Politics' is more another history book rather one on political thought, history and evolution - at least this is my gut feeling after a few quick reads here and there (in the bookshop but also after buying it). Seems very easy to read, which is good for me (I've been off reading for quite some time now).

Had a few pages read on the book about Hitler, seems very interesting with details on daily life and habits of his.
