I’ve finished both Banvard’s Folly and Catch Me If You Can (I read it so I can say ‘The book’s better than the film.’) and Gotham is too huge to read in one sitting so I had to go book shopping today.
I went prowling through Books In Print looking for a buy to spend a new voucher on. Even though I was a little distracted by the painting (there is the most ghastly shade of duck-egg blue appearing on the walls and I’m praying like mad it’s just an undercoat) I found Do Not Pass Go – an exploration of London using the Monopoly board. I may never have been to London but I’ve played enough games of Monopoly to think I’ll enjoy it.
