Fiction

A Victorian mystery. Pretty good so far, apart from a howling error in the first scene. I think I'm going to enjoy it. Otherwise I've picked up (again) 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. I'm listening to them and have reached 1969 so far. I think I will listen to the first 1000 and give the last one a miss. I don't want to die.
Otherwise I (tried to) read A Gate At The Stairs by Lorrie Moore - our book club selection for this month. No way of sugaring the pill - I absolutely loathed it and gave up at page 45. Maybe the problem is me, or I'm not the target audience. There is a review on Goodreads from a lady who read the whole thing, and who eviscerates it far more eloquently than I ever could.
Up next - not sure. I have a huge biography of LBJ on the shelves, but I'm quite intimidated by it, and I reckon it would keep me quiet for a month.
