In case you were wondering about the holiday reading backlog of an IPE grad student, wonder no more: above is the stack of library books lined up for me over the holidays. On the bright side, being an IPE student allows for a great variety of interesting reading. However, it is still a lot of reading. Unlike in the American system where doctoral students are given four years to complete a degree, they only have three here in the UK. Therefore, a compressed time schedule means that I must do more during the break other than watch reruns of Fawlty Towers, much as that would seem fun. But, it's a choice I've gladly make to save a year. Cheers!
