The Uncommon Reader (Alan Bennett) is an absolutely lovely little book. It made me smile a lot. (It also reminded me of the existence of the book Howard's End by EM Forster and that particular passage about Beethoven's Fifth, which I remember being very fond of but which I haven't read since, oh, my early teens. Hmm.)
Broken Angels (Richard Morgan) contains considerably more archaeology than I was somehow expecting! Onward. :)
(This is me actually keeping a record of what I'm reading.)
