Reading Wednesday
Currently reading: Consuming Passions by Judith Flanders- it's about leisure and consumption in Victorian England- it actually goes back earlier than the Victorians a lot, to show where the trends came from. Really enjoying it. Also Let's Stay Married by Basil Boothroyd, which is a comic take on self-help. And I'm slowly working my way through the short stories in the Women Destroy Science Fiction! issue of Lightspeed, which have all been good so far.
Just finished: The Travels of Ibn Battutah, (trans. Tim Mackintosh-Smith), memoirs of a great Muslim traveller of the 14th century. T. Kingfisher (Ursula Vernon)'s story collection, Toad Words. One of Dorothy Dunnet's Johnson Johnson mysteries. Oh, and I read Edinburgh Picturesque by RL Stevenson on the train back from Edinburgh.
Next: Maybe a Dick Francis.
