finished reading Grave Peril by Jim Butcher (Book three of The Dresden files)

Jim Butcher: Grave Peril (Paperback, 2001, Roc)

Now in hardcover from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dresden Files.Harry Dresden's …

Trash. Can't believe this has been this popular and influential. Dresden is a lecherous buffoon and I'm not convinced that Butcher is much better. And as hardboiled fiction it sucks, the equivalent of a fedora over a Hawaiian shirt.

Blindboy Boatclub: Topographia Hibernica (2023, Hodder & Stoughton) No rating

I've read stories so far about rescuing an abused donkey to avoid visiting a parent with dementia, a small-time lawyer causing a scene at the dog races, and a young autistic child with a special interest struggling to share it with others.
