Location: UK		Finished Ben Aaronovitch's The October Man a novella about The Folly's magic practitioners counterparts in Germany.. Lots of interesting stuff about ancient germanic history,and winemaking made a nice change of place in the Rivers of London series,but I know no german at all so some of the titles and place names needed a bit of study to grasp,but a pleasant enough read if not of the highest rank.
That brings my Rivers of London titles to completion,but I havent reread any of the books. It would be fun to start again with that new recruit constable Peter Grant and watch his development through the series.The same thing with The Laundry Files too.
Now I go back to poor Harry Dresden and the rough year after the horrendous battle where he lost someone very close to him.
I have been doing very light reading this week. And it was my 78th birthday on 31st From tomorrow must try to buckle down to some proper reading if I can fit it in.. The chaos on the world stage has consumed far too much of my time and focus in January. You couldnt make up some of the crazy stuff. It seems that crisis events went from once a week to once a day and now sometimes 2 or 3 things in one day! Madness.I
Far too much time spent openmouthed watching unbelievable events on the screen. More focus on reading is required.....
