Think I might write my life story. Since my interest in politicians ended with Oliver Cromwell it might go down okay. :wink:

Currently reading D-Day by Antony Beevor.

History book rather than a novel. Not read a history book since school, so a bit of a diversion. Brings out the characters pretty well along with people's diary entries and the like. Reasonable read so far.

I'm reading Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon - the longest resident of the shelf of shame, now transferred to new office in new house. This was loaned to me by a friend from California in a visit to England in 1997... It's really good... at least up to p83... my friend is pleased I'm reading it... At last... :D

1997? That's the year that the Princess of Wales was killed. THAT long. Remind me never to lend you anything, ever. (not that I've much that you'd want to borrow anyway).
