Just started this, on the recommendation of @Digimonkey
I very much doubt you will be disappointed - in my top 5 reads last year - Hartnell makes light work of his source material - which in the wrong hands can be stupefyingly dull - trust me - I know - having studied medieval history. I need to get my act together - I've half written reviews of 'With the Jocks' and 'Underland' to finish. @Blademonkey - thanks for the recommendation P. - looks great - on the list. In the interim - does anyone fancy another 7 days - 7 books? I found it an interesting and inspiring thing to do. Cheers - I.

Indeed, Iain. It'll also prompt me to revisit a few...and no doubt purchase a few. You're right; Hartnell has a refreshingly light touch...

Not sure I can do 7 days - 7 books - at the moment always reading work materials - looking forward to reading your thoughts on With the Jocks; hope your boiler is sorted!

I could probably manage seven paragraphs in seven days. Ha ha :rolleyes:

I've maybe been approaching this wrong. I've merely been nominating one book a day for seven days. Not read one each day :D. Anyhoo, can I start off? I got this earlier on in the year. It takes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as a reference point, but speaks more about solitude and cabin fever. Atmospheric and well written. Actually, I have a couple of creepy suggestions, since ‘the nights are fair drawin' in'. I'll offer them as the week progresses.
