Oryx and Crake got postponed for the deliriously absurd The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters, by G W Dahlquist. Some 750 pages of breathless mayhem, set in the late nineteenth / early twentieth century (it's not specified) and following a society girl, an assassin and a military surgeon who find themselves caught up in a dastardly plot to enslave the human race! It's as silly as it sounds, and quite magnificent. Filthy, too. |

The Cardinal Dictator, by Auguste Bailey. It's a hilariously camp biography of Richelieu from the thirties or twenties, which claims that Mussolini was a left wing dictator, the current thinking back then i believe. too too hilaire! :lol: |

Yeah, that Cardinal was one wild and crazy guy. Just ask the Huguenots. |

Yeah the writer seems to have idolised Richelieu so much, that the siege of La Rochelle becomes a glorious victory and not a grim act of sectarian violence. That's historians for you i suppose, lol

As a trainee historian, ![]() I'm giving Dreams from my Father a go: it's quite well-written so far. |

Conrad Totman's History of Japan. Roughly the same length and density of the Bible, written from an environmental history perspective. A monster of a book, and one completely interesting. |

Just finished "The Last Fighting Tommy"; Harry Patch's (the last survivor of the great war to have served in the trenches) autobiography. Quite fascinating. |
