I've just finished re-reading Douglas Adams' strange book, The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul Not so obviously funny as some of his other books, but quite deep, in a twistedly logical sort of way. An interesting read, but I still prefer Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Current reading is all bits and pieces - dipping into books on Victorian street crimes, prostitution, prize fighting and drug use (and abuse, although it wasn't looked on in quite the same way in those days.)

Another couple of weeks and I should have enough time to read properly again - no idea what I'll go for, though - re-reading an old favourite, reading a C19 book that I've not read before, or going for something modern - we'll see: if this thread goes on for long enough I'll come back to you with the news!
