I loved Great Expectations, partly because most of it is set in a collection of villages that surround London- like Walworth. Obv. everyone knows that London used to be villages that got absorbed by urban sprawl, but it's quite a different perspective to read something that was written when that was the reality, not from the point of view of looking back on it.
Just finished Human Traces by Sebastian Faulks. Loved every darn page- he's got better and better at what he does, has sorted out his issues with pace.
Me and two friends are working our way through the BBC list of 100 books that supposedly everyone should have read but on average everyone's read 6, or something. We've divided up the ones none of us have read and I have to start with The Bible as I refused anything by Thomas Hardy. But His Dark Materials (Pullman) is up next.
