So, since I smashed up my clavicle I've been doing a lot of reading.
The Butchering Art - about Joseph Lister and what he did to modernise surgery. Excellent read. Perhaps not the best book to take with you to read whilst waiting for surgery on your clavicle.
The Ashes of London - historical murder mystery set in the aftermath of the great fire - really good read and great if you love the city.
Millenium - Tom Holland on the machinations of Christian kings around the (original) millenium. Usual breathless stuff. Very readable history.

Just starting Revenger by Alastair Reynolds...
See trainwankering is good for something.
