Just started Stendahl's The Charterhouse of Parma this morning and enjoying the sardonic tone of it so far.

Finally finished Follett's Fall of Giants which I enjoyed though not as much as POTE and WWE.

Now a good ways into A Secret History of the Pink Carnation.

I couldn't finish Fall of Giants. Am going shopping tomorrow to buy Great Maria and a couple of other books

Think I am about to have my first wall-banging moment - "Mr Whicher" may soon be on his way across the room, metaphorically speaking at least. If it doesn't improve after my next commute on Monday, then he's off!

I didn't make it past the first chapter of that one.

I'll be sure to duck if Mr Whicher whizzes by...

I've got a couple of books on the go at the moment: The Calligrapher's Daughter by Eugenia Kim (HF about Korea, where I used to live). Very lovely so far.

And NF: Jacobite Spy Wars: Moles, Rogues and Treachery, by Hugh Douglas. Just started this yesterday.

Wow, I liked "Mr. Whicher", but then I like murder mysteries a lot, nonfiction and fiction.

Tried looking for Great Maria at the 3 major book stores in town, but none had any copies. Bought The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters instead.
