My wife, Sarah, is exactly the same.  She's currently reading "A beautiful
mind", a biography of Bruce Chatwin and a number of legal texts.  The book
about Nash is entertaining for me because she is getting quite interested in
Mathematics as a result.  I just wish I had time to read more, I just caught
up working with the computer and various little projects - since I hit a
dead-end with my scanner driver I've been focussing a lot of biometric
programming (and reading around the subject) which kind of monopolises my
free time - if I could find a way of doing this kind of thing for a living
then I might have more leisure time for reading.
