Right, that's on my list. Thank you GA. as always I have have about six books on the go at the same time.
Three are non fiction:
The first is Under an English Sky by Charlotte Higgins about Roman Britain and what it has meant to succeeding generations
The second is The Jews by Simon Schama from which the television series linked
And the third is Wordsmiths ans Warriers by David and Hilary Crystal subtitled The English Language Tourists Guide to Britain. A wonderful book to dip into all about places ans their connections with the history, grammar and development of English. Wonderfully illustrated too which is a bonus these days.
