As it happens I do, usually just before going to bed or if I can't sleep. Just reading a very interesting book by Edward Said at the mo 'Out of place Memoir'. Quite lyrical to start with until he hits 1948 later in the book. Upper class Christian Palestinian. Must get on to his 'Orientalist' books he wrote at some point before he popped his clogs from cancer in 2003.

From wiki, an interesting snippet:
In the mid-1990s, Said wrote the foreword to the history book Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years (1994), by Israel Shahak, about Jewish fundamentalism
