kafjThree weeks in a row. This is disturbingly consistent for me.
Currently reading
Still on New York Mosaic, but now on the third book, Many Mansions. I am not getting into this one so much as the previous two. Loved The Christmas Tree, though.
Recently finished
Ruby Tanya, Robert Swindells (I think). Picked up from the station book swap shelf to read on the train to London on Saturday. Rather earnest tween fiction involving asylum seekers, schoolchildren, EDL-a-like councillors, and a bomb. I enjoyed it - Ruby Tanya herself was a particularly engaging character - but was not entirely comfortable with the way that Asra and the other asylum seekers came from an unspecified 'my country'.
Up next
Not sure. Maybe The Edwardians. Or maybe something else. I am not feeling terribly intellectual this week.
Other media
Finished The Bridge; disagreed heartily with Housemate over the ending. (I thought it was in character, principled, and in keeping with tradition, but there we go...) The Musketeers, hooray; I particularly like d'Artagnan's eyebrows. Have sort of half-agreed to watch The West Wing (for some reason this is apparently essential if I want to keep up with the gossip in my old office) - which will mean obtaining DVDs and working out the DVD player. I'm sure it's not beyond me.
