Silly Little Country

Cleaning up the Entertainment Section

Dropping off as I have finished them:

A Fool and His Money

This was a very interesting read about a 14th-century town in France split in a number of ways. It focusses on one poor soul who seemed to be the fool in the title, and the discovery of some of his money. Along the way, we learn a lot about how this town functioned in a somewhat unique way, divided along secular-church lines, as well as English-French (though the town was Occitan and those notions did not then exist really). An interesting read!

The Company of Strangers

Simultaneously hopeful and depressing, documenting the triumphs of modern liberalism (in the classic sense) and the resultant hazards.

The Closers

Can Michael Connelly get anything wrong? Yet another great Harry Bosch novel.


Now I must re-fill the section.
