The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.
Quite a page turner, and I've read 300 pages so far (nearly half), but have recently been too busy to carry on.
It's about a vampire who seems to have a major problem with librarians and antiquarians rooting through old papers.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

In the meantime, I'm reading "I drink, therefore I am" by Roger ScruttonComment

A truly awful, pointless waste of time. A story that could be done in 1/10 of the book is instead drawn out to 600+ pages. Starts off well enough, but then quickly descends to a mind-numbing, totally uninteresting, painful crawl.
I soldiered on and read it to the end. I will never get that time back in my life. You can, just stop, now!Comment

But then some people prefer that understated ambience and style, and she does have a knack of leading one on, with little surprises every page or two.
But you're right in that it does go on a bit, and she probably could have whittled it down to 500 pages.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Batman Year One - Frank Miller
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
