reading Wednesday, sort of

This week I am so terminally depressed by Brexit chaos, which also filters into general work-related stress and makes it worse, that besides fanfiction I am simultaneously re-reading Dorothy L. Sayers, Unnatural Death (not my favourite, but the one I've read least recently) and Dorothy Dunnett, Queen's Play. Recourse to both Dorothys is the extreme distress signal of comfort reading.

This is my fourth re-read of the 6-book Lymond Chronicles since last March, when I first read them. It is one of the great tragedies of my reading life that I hadn't been reading them every year since the age of 15, so I'm making up for lost time with a vengeance.
