Read of England 2015





In previous years I have done a bit of reading devoted expressly to England around St. George's Day on April 23rd. This time around, however,  I'm going whole hog -- April belongs to England!  The majority of what I read in the next four weeks will be English literature, English history, fiction set in England, books about English culture, biographies of famous English-types, books written in English -- okay, maybe not that broad, but you get the idea. I'm essentially carving out some space to read more Dickens or Austen.  There may be one or two non-English things sneaking in, but on the whole it will be a very English month.What to expect? Well,  The Armada by John Stack is sailing my way, so that's one at the very least,  and there are a couple of classics I want to poke my nose into.


And awaaaaaaaaaaaay we go!

Thank you for visiting! Because of some very clever spambots, I've had to start moderating comments more strictly, but they're approved throughout the day.
