So, I've bought the e-book of Seven Killings and look forward to starting
it as soon as I've finished the dreck that is Pillars of the Earth (Ken
Follett). It was a gift from a friend who loved it, I am duty-bound to
finish (for fear of a quiz). Talking of historical stuff though, it has
stoked an interest in Cathedral architecture and 12th century European
religion. Also apropos of a different email (I think, easily confused), can
recommend Agnes Bowker's Cat,
