Well that was fun.
Right Ho, Jeeves; Do Butlers Burgle Banks?; Lord Emsworth and Others; The Heart of a Goof; Eggs Beans and Crumpets; The Inimitable Jeeves - all from the window of a very nice bookshop that I followed Jon Snow into. Turns out he was staying at our campsite with his kids.
Alan Clark Diaries 1972-1991. His writing is incredibly charismatic. Easy to tell how he managed to be boffing three members of the same family at once.
The Good Doctor - Damon Galgut
Moonlight into Marzipan - Sunetra Gupta
Nights in a Foreign Country - Jean McNeil
Elsewhere - young European writers from Norway, Germany, Wales, Poland and Italy write short stories which are then translated into all of the other languages.
Before Philosophy (a study of primitive myths) - various. Less exciting than the title makes it sound.
The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table - Oliver Wendell Holmes. Very old 320-page rant.
Much discussion of nihilism over red wine. I bumped into an old friend from Oxford, ate three different kinds of ice cream, and saw some sheep.
