Been reading the Saxon series of books by Bernard Cornwell. Not bad at all.

I am not sure how much was just drug fueled paranoia but he seemed to take no responsibility whatsoever for his own downfallMy subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

I've read a few of his non-M books as well, I might go for a few more once I'm done with the sci-fi but at the moment I have a 24 week teach myself maths and physics plan to get through which is quite a lot of reading and Murakami's 1Q84 which is a whopper.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

A Garden of Integrals, by Frank Burk
Pretty readable and informative, despite appearances, and unlike so many maths books one doesn't tend to lose sight of the wood for the trees!
From the review
The audience for the book is undergraduate mathematics students, graduate students, and faculty members, of which even the most experienced are unlikely to be aware of all of the integrals in the Garden of Integrals. Professor Burk's clear and well-motivated exposition makes this book a joy to read. There is no other book like it.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I'm reading Sir Walter Scott's Heart of Midlothian.
I've found the opening chapters a little bit lugubrius but will stick with it. For now, at least.Comment
