Mozart's Horn Concertos and "Puckoon" by Spike Milligan may make apparently uneasy bedfellows, but they do work surprisingly well together.

Since I still seem bent on the lazy option for today, I now have to decide what to read next, having just dispensed with the latter half of Puckoon at a sitting. Part of me is minded to charge headlong at His Dark Materials, and see how far I can get in one day - another part is tempted by the sheltering and warm-zephyred world of Arthur Ransome.

So no doubt I'll end up reading another Pratchett...

Having said which, I have just felt the tug of the meticulously-created world of Susanna Clarke calling me again - winter is the perfect time to re-read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. That'll be the next couple of week's reading sorted out then ;-)

Hello Gilbert Norrell. Hello John Childermass. Hello even, Christopher Drawlight.

Goodbye real world. See you around.

A cheap shot, I know, but you couldn't make this up.
