# I'm currently on a Bill Bryson hit.
Notes from a small island had me lidderally lolling on the tube on my commute.

I'm currently on A Short History Of Nearly Everything and Neither Here Nor There, the latter of which is having a very similar effect.

# Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, at the moment
It's probably the longest I've taken to read a book, as even with zombies and ninjas, Austin is a tedious author. Reads like a script "Such and such said this, so and so replied with that, such and such retorted with this, and much laughter ensued" ad infinitum.

# Yeah I've never got on with Austen.
To me it seems like it's the original chick lit.

# ASHONE is a fine read
I scored very highly on QI after reading that

# It is.
Engaging - but not so lolly as the others.

But bloody hell BB's brain must be the fullest in all of Christendom.

# And if you find all the Fordian goings-on in BNW too much
have a copy of Island (by him as well) close to hand as respite.

# Morning!
There are so many books I've not yet got round to. The ex used to work at a publishers, so many many freebies ensued.
