A 500 page book that took me 400 pages to get into, not a good sign. Came so highly recommended, and a book about books featuring the fall of Constantinople should have been much more interesting for me, but meh. I do feel at the moment like some of the joy in reading has gone, and there is no new fiction that appeals. Maybe i should go back to George MacDonald Fraser, or Agatha Christie, or Rafael Sabatini, or even Susan Cooper for a bit. mind you, it will be time to reread The Dark is Rising soon. The World Cup in Qatar has just started, and it is very difficult to get excited about a tournament in the wrong place at the wrong time of year. I just don't know.
