Reading (aloud in the afternoons or evenings Chris Mullin's A Walk-On Part, political diary of his time as a Labour MP between 1994 and 1999. The first of the diaries chronologically but we're reading it last, and indeed it was the last to be published. Alternating it with Mary Beardy's SPQR. Abbreviation is from the Latin phrase Senātus Populus que Rōmānus (The Roman Senate and People) and the book a history of ancient Rome. Could say I don't know what we did before ebooks, but I do - hauled around heavy books.
