What Lib Dem MPs are reading this summer

By | Wed 18th August 2010 - 7:12 pm

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…

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.

    Harry Potter?
    How far behind the curve do you have to be to try to jump onto a bandwaggon years after it has passed you by?

    What an insightful point Maria. Maybe, just maybe, they have children of the right age, or maybe they’re not ‘jumping on a bandwaggon’ but rather, would like to read the books. I read some Tolstoy the other day – definitely missed the ‘bandwaggon’ there.

    Good to see Sen at the top though – thoroughly Lib Dem.

    Sen has been gerrymandered into top place ahead of Potter, for obvious reasons.

    Potter encapsulates the spirit of the day, a genial fantasy of upper class alliance bearing no relation to reality….
