It's too hot to go outside. I know, because I've just been out with the rubbish (sorry, the garbage). So I'm going to stay in a little longer, and I've decided to add a new category to my blog: 'j'ai lu...'. Since I started reading non-academic and non-medieval books again, I've been determined to write down not only my thoughts about the book, but how long it took me to read it (a good barometer in how much I enjoyed it - was I able to put it down?). I don't know what I hope to achieve with this. The last novel I read was Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke; I finished it a couple of weeks ago. I'll start by writing about that, and then mention a couple of other books I've read since the start of 2006 (such as American Gods, by Neil Gaiman). I might even throw a couple of past bookward entries into this category. Just don't expect the flipping New York Review of Books or anything.
