I have just StumbledUpon the website for the book Special Topics in Calamity Physics . It is for a book by an author Marisha Pessl. The illustrative style reminds me a little of Robert Crumb, but it also reminds me of J.K Rowling’s website a little too. However, it is rather fun. I might even see if I can lay my hands on a copy of the book which seems to be a literary ‘mash-up’ of all sorts of fictional characters.

I am currently reading lots of different books.
Recently completed Coram Boy and The Blood Stone both by Jamila Gavin. Although written for children, they are well researched and imaginitive tales set in the past and highly enjoyable.
I am part way through The Unbearable Bassington by Saki, which is highly amusing set post WW1 - a tale about a character called Comus Bassington who just won’t settle down.
I am also reading The Games People Play by Eric Berne. Interesting - challenges me to think about the games I may or may not be playing as well as those played by others.
I have also just picked up the latest Kathy Lette - How to Kill Your Husband - very amusing from what I have read on the train so far. An interesting insight into the battle for equality between husband and wife…..
