lizwilliamsPatricia Finney: FIREDRAKE'S EYE. Very well written historical detective story, based on Tom O'Bedlam. Her version of Elizabethan London is very alien and strange.
Otherwise, I'm reading Faye Kellerman's detective novels for the first time, and enjoying them. I like the emphasis on Judaism, a religion about which I find I am lamentably ignorant in spite of the presence of a large number of Jewish people among my friends and loved ones.
More esoteric reading is Culhwch ac Olwen, the (allegedly) earliest of the stories in the Mabinogion, for this course. Also rather weird. Either bits of it are lost, or it's written according to satirical precepts which we're just not privy to these days.
