What book are you reading now?
Something not at all my usual kind of novel at all, and one that took me a while to get into, then I really enjoyed. A big long Julian Barnes novel Arthur and George, which is, on the surface, about Arthur Conan Doyle using his literary fame to overturn a grotesque miscarriage of justice (as he did in reality) but becomes about much more - love, the meaning of life and death, wee things like that! - with a light touch and some subtle, humane humour.
