What I'm reading

Recently finished:

Blood of Dragons, Robin Hobb - last of the Rain Wild Chronicles. Enjoyable; not as wrenching or impressive a series or conclusion as there is to the Tawny Man or the Liveship books, but reasonably satisfying.

One day I must actually read some Robin Hobb - I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy her and I haven't read a new fantasy author for ages. The Lang book sounds fascinating, too.

I look forward to the plotbunnies producing!

Obviously the Lang book doesn't cover the whole 20th century, but it's not a bad introduction to Anglican church history between the wars. There is a long section on Prayer Book reform. One of the books referenced is Hastings' A History of English Christianity 1920-2000, which might be worth investigating (Beaken argues with Hastings' judgement of Lang, but that's inevitable).
