• Finnegans Wake - my ‘big read’ which I am doing over the year along with a group over on reddit: one of the only things that still has me dipping into reddit now. Fascinatingly incomprehensible.
• Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time - some good, thoughtful worldbuilding and a solid story.
• Robert Brightwell’s Flashman’s Waterloo - one of his series of Flashman prequels featuring the uncle of George MacDonald Fraser’s protagonist. Very well researched and entertaining
• A collection of Neil Munro’s Para Handy tales - gentle humour and a glimpse of a very different world - albeit rather stereotypical and patronising in some ways.

However, I don’t have a great deal of time to read at the moment, and with several on the go at once, I am taking a good while to get through them.
