When I commuted 4-plus hours a day via public transit, I read at least two books a week. Now that I work from home, less than half that. Well worth the tradeoff!

Congratulations on your sobriety!

The Last Witchfinder by James Morrow is narrated by another book, Isaac Newton’s Principia Mathematica. So in addition to being a picaresque historical novel, it’s about the generative nature of books and writing.

The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep by H.G. Parry is a bit like the Tuesday Next books. Here the protagonist’s brother has the ability to bring fictional characters into the real world, from which they don’t always want to leave and which sometimes alters them.
