I am about to undertake a massive splurge and buy Duncan Wu's biography of William Hazlitt. Hazlitt is such a fascinating & unknown character, but a superb literary stylist, friend of all the Romantic poets, a curmudgeon and a fascinating and unconventional thinker.
Just arrived from Amazon.co.uk is the third Stieg Larsson thriller, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I'm going to save that as a treat for a day when I'm down in the dumps and need something amazing to bounce back.
