Continuing our habit of reading aloud. Currently towards the end of The Jewel in the Crown, first book of Paul Scott's Raj Quartet. Quite interesting from an historical point of view as well as being well written. We read Book II last year, so it's out of order, though not disastrously so, and we've since acquired the third and fourth books as well. In addition, we now have a buffer - downloaded work of Dickens,Strachey, Maugham and deMaupassant from the Gutenberg Project for times when we may find ourselves bookless.
