Congratulations M Haynes. As you will both see, my delays continue. I keep getting distracted by what have been generally disappointing books: Roth clever, but fragmeted, Theroux just a bit silly and pointless and Simkins dishonest, though fun. I am returning to Proust this weekend, as well as trying to get an essay out on Prosopography so we may have no need to wait till the 8th.
On a final plea, can we largely not include work books, unless they are interesting. I'm pretty certain neither of you are interested in my recent work reading: Can the market deliver - funding public service television in the digital age, and A. Peacock, Public Service Broadcasting without the BBC. And I have excluded Byzantine reading as well: thrillers such as A.Cameron (ed.), Fifty years of Byzantine Prosopography and a series of books about databases.
Oh, and Swann in love is still really tedious, but I can see the end now.

Not include work books? Isn't that precisely what you have just done, albeit disguised as a lecture to the pair of us. I'd also like to point out that the Hochachka - though relevant to my work, was more along the lines of popular, or even historical science writing. I have not logged the chapters of the delightful Learning to Teach in Higher Education by Paul Ramsden - a gift inflicted upon me by career development services.
I'm more targeting Alexis in my assault here. He'll go through piles of work reading about Americans which it is important we don't hear about.
