Oi, Sir C. Book recommendation.

[Burney]

Have you read the Mick Herron Jackson Lamb/Slough House series? Halfway through the first - Slow Horses - and I'm quite keen. They're about a bunch of MI5 spooks who've all fúcked up and been exiled to a dingy office where they aren't allowed to run cases.

Sounds riveting, B

I listened to the first one and... quite enjoyed it, but haven't yet tried any more. ty for the recommendation.

I'm told the second, Dead Lions, is the best.

No, you’d like them, too, h. Indeed the hero is a grotesque, fat, uncouth man who belches and farts all the time. Just your sort of thing.

Just tried my first ever Thomas Hardy, The Woodlanders, Lord spare me I had to quit after chapter 6 - just couldn't care about any of the characters and the tendency to spend three paragraphs describing a farkin gatepost or summat!

I'd not give you tuppence for Hardy, tbh. Depressive, tedious stuff.

I love Hardy. Try The Mayor of Casterbridge. A proper racy read.

Oh, yes. That's alright. His best by miles, certainly. Still a bit grim, though.
