Also about the making of the OED. Excellent read!
As is "The surgeon of Crowthorne", which I've just finished reading.

It being summer here, with plenty of opportunity to sloth around with books, I've also finished the Stieg Larssen Millenium Trilogy (my daughters gave me "The girl with the dragon tattoo" for Christmas), as well as the latest in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series ("Tea time for the traditionally built") and John Wyndham's "Trouble with lichen".

One of the local bookshops was discounting Mma Ramotswe's Cookbook (compiled from a study of the recipes and references to food and cooking in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, so I've got that and am going through some of the recipes. Good fun!

Cheers, Rowan
