Diane Ackerman and Jasper Fforde

V strange bedfellows! Ackerman is a good read but very dense full attention required for that one. She's non-fiction just FYI. Jasper Fforde on the other hand is a hoot - since I tentatively picked up The Eyre Affair I've never looked back. Nursery Crimes which are his new series are just as good as the Thursday Next novels. Roll on "The Maltease Cockatoo" or whatever he's going to call the follow up!

This week I've got a real mixed bag. Smoke and Mirrors, Neil Gaiman, The Dancer Upstairs, Nick Shakespeare - recommended by the same girl who tipped me to The Oxford Murders by Martinez. How the Irish Saved Civilization, Thomas Cahill and The Hound of the Baskervilles by Doyle.
