Joseph Conrad - Nostromo. Enjoyed it, but I'm a fan anyway. Amazing command of the written word in his non-native tongue.
Will Burns - The Paper Lantern. Lockdown ramblings on nature, small towns, pub regulars, insularity, politics and 'the plague' from the perspective of a frustrated poet/barman. Really enjoyed it as well, but I know the author fairly well so perhaps that's swayed me.
Now cracking through John Cooper-Clarke's I Wanna Be Yours autobiography and wading through The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides to help me get back to sleep during bouts of insomnia.
Had a bit of a binge recently (for me).
