I've been doing a bit of re-reading lately, of books I read a long time ago. I haven't read Tolkein since I was 11 and have no intention of going back.

I’m reading a ghosted autobiography of a US Navy SEAL.

It’s surprisingly entertaining. Not quite sure what prompted me to buy it but I’m kinda glad I did.

Hello Book Groupies, thought you might be interested in this series of (online) lectures from Prof John Mullan, The Powers of the Novel
gresham.ac.uk

How did the novel - that upstart literary form - come to dominate the literary marketplace? How do novels seize and absorb the attention of their readers?

In this lecture series Visiting Professor John Mullan will combine his scholarly expertise in the history of the English novel in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with his interest in contemporary fiction.

The three lectures will look at the formal tricks and devices of modern literary fiction, but also see how these reach back to the innovations of the great eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novelists.
