Now For Something Completely Different
I am still plugging away at the Sinclair, the rewards are just fecund enough for the effort. I took James' Cultural Amnesia with me on my travels this morning and was again delighted with a rereading of the chapter on G. K Chesterton. I was so pleased that I began The Paradoxes of Mister Pound by GKC upon returning home this afternoon.
I read a chapter from Dorothy Dunnett but can't suggest that it moved me.

Sorry if I inadvertently led you astray with Dunnett, Jon: if you'd asked, I would have said she's probably not your thing. But eight months after my second reading of Wolf Hall, I found myself wanting something that would replicate some of the dramatic politics and intrigue of that book, and Dunnett's books, though not as impressive or memorable as Mantel's, have fit the bill
