Re: What are you reading?
Recently finished 'Ian Dury' by Will Birch - insightful look into the life of the man - not sycophantic, but poignant none the less..
Part way through 'Bad Science' by Ben Goldacre - lots of good stuff in there.
Enjoying my subscription (via Kindle) to Analog Science Fiction Magazine ..

Re: What are you reading?
Been selectively browsing through through "Domesday Book - a Complete Translation" (Penguin Classics)
"Uthræd held Little Crosby and Kirkdale as 1 hide, and it was quit of every custom except these 6: breach of the peace, highway robbery, housebreaking and fighting which continued after the oath was made, and payment of debt to anyone bound by the reeve's judgement, and non-observance of the due date given by the reeve; for these he paid a fine of 40S. But he paid the king's geld like the men of the country."
