I'd happily read a history of Vienna, but I'm not sure I would have picked up a book about how Viennese intellectuals have influenced the modern world if it hadn't been written by one of my old history tutors. As I read it I realised how influential his style had been on me, even if it did take four years before I finally understood and put away the journalese and glib comments. He manages to get plenty of mentions in football in though, which I'm sure he used to castigate me for.
