Sorry missed last week's post, just busy with life.

The silver lining is, I don't have to stay "still reading" for yet another week, as I finally finished Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Yet another case involving magic in London and the Police solving it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Many years ago I bought the book adaptations of 'Yes Minister' and 'Yes Prime Minister', which I then forgot to take with me in the divorce around '08. I recently spent far too much money getting new copies from Booktopia.com.au. My god they're still hilarious.

These shows are on my watchlist, but I have never gotten around to watching them. Maybe I should just get the book adaptations...

I highly recommend both. The show is great. The books are done as mostly diary entries by Jim Hacker, interspersed with notes from Sir Humphrey, TV transcriptions and interviews Bernad Woolley had with the 'editors' in the far flung future of 2019. They're really quite well done by the writers of the actual show. It really adds to it when you can read it in the voices of the characters, though.
