Fiction for pleasure 90% of the time
Love Jane Austin and have read them all several times
I also love vintage crime - Marjory Allingham, Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy Sayers, Josephine
Tay etc
Some great modern books too Robert Harris's Pompeii, Ordinary Thunderstorms by William Boyd
Harris's Pompeii is somewhat a modern equivalent of Tay's Daughter of Time in as much as it is a look back at a historical event from a different perspective.
