[DoctorStrangelove]

Next: "Daddy we hardly knew you" by Germaine Greer.

Done: off to Oxfam with it. Inneresting enough.

Next: "The loved one" by Evelyn Waugh. The Septic funeral business in California. It's short.

[NotAllThere]

Dan Wheatcroft - the leveller series.

The second in the series is a free ebook. So I read that first and then paid for the other two. Quite good but a bit hard to follow.

Ken McCleod's 'lightspeed' trilogy.
quite entertaining. Enough so to start some of his other works.

Done: off to Oxfam with it.

Next: "Black Mischief" by Evelyn Waugh. The earlier appearance of Basil Seal who reappears 10 years later in "Put out more flags".

One can see how some of the language might offend those afflicted by a fit of the vapours these benighted days, things were different 94 years ago.

Amusing enough with a nasty twist at the end. Yum.

Fascinating that "The Tablet" was rather more upset by failing to fast on Good Friday, contraceptives, and sex outside marriage than the twist. .

Next: "Decline and Fall" by Evelyn Waugh.

Oh good, full of Gog Welsh people. I've never heard any one (outside a Shakespeare play) use the phrase "look you".

And he's not shy about terming the Black chauffeur a N****r.

a snowball in hell by chris brookmyre.
well up to his usual standard.

[NotAllThere]

Andy Weir - Project Hail Mary.

Really enjoyed the film last week.

I do like a bit of Evelyn Waugh.

I'm reading "Where the Past Lies" by Geoffrey Seed.

Full disclosure, we've met and get on well.
I try to buy everything my friends, family and acquaintances write, record or paint.
It's not all great, but this is. A good book.
