I looked at it and thought ‘Dio will look into that so I don’t have too’. :)

I downloaded Hilary Mantel's "A Place of Greater Safety" as my new Audible read. It was only when I started listening yesterday that I noticed it is 32 hours long! That'll keep me going for a while.

Oooh Bournville was just in the library, so picked that up.

Just finished reading another Christopher Priest, this time "The Glamour", which will talk about in the other thread, but this was probably the best of his three books I read, gripping, weirdly dreamlike and the ending one of the oddest, most striking and most haunting endings of any book I've read.
